'22 TN QB Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)

[butchna]

This can’t be good news.

Yes it can...and is.

 

[Wickman]

Never doubt this man

 

[tnhunter 10]

This offense is a offensive players dream. Why would you not want to play in this offense?

 

[Gilbert]

If it's not us, go all in on Horn.

 

[Blake25p]

It’s surprising that Ty wouldn’t give JH time to build a relationship with him if he’s committing elsewhere.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Will be curious to see who Heupel focuses in on. Maybe it will be Horn

 

[Jackcrevol]

We are screwed in the ‘22 in state class. A class we can’t afford to miss

This guy or Hayden go elsewhere,
its over.

This is the first domino to fall. In state recruits will follow Ty. I think CJH can get 8 wins with a quality defensive staff and exciting brand of football in 2021, then this could be a really nice first class. If we only give ourselves a 1 year or 2 year bowl ban, then Ty and company could out the other side of sanctions ready to complete for the East.

Because, taylor made championships.

Look on the bright side, we dont have to worry about having a coach who flat out refuses to play anyone. Pruitt gone!

 

[Wickman]

Last week said it is a dream to come here and rebuild the program, but he won’t give the coach a chance? Weird.

 

[SSVol]

No advantage to rushing if he's leaving the state. Big benefit to rushing if he's trying to help recruiting.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

On the positive side, two major concerns for Ty when it came to Tennessee were the offense and the job security of the head coach. Those should be gone. The offense should be infinitely more attractive and Heupel is almost a lock to be here for five or more years. In that same sense, everyone knows O'Brien is only at Alabama until he gets a decent head coaching job offered to him...which is highly likely within the next two to three years. Clemson should be the main concern again, but Elliot is getting offers every year and it's reasonable to see him leave in the next two years. I know he had a great relationship with Pruitt, but he's loved UT since well before Pruitt came along. I think there's enough reason to be optimistic that he's a Vol.

If Ty were to commit, it may open the floodgates for the in state guys.

But, Clemson does make a lot of sense with their offense, coaching stability, and easy road to the playoff. It doesn't hurt they are about to have the #1 NFL draft pick either.

I can't blame Ty if he does go there. The only reasons he would come to UT is love for the program and a belief that he can lead it back toward relevance.

Sam Horn, MJ Morris, or Tevin Carter may be targets if no Simpson.

CB to Clemson from Wiltfong

So if Ty doesn’t come to UT he’d basically be saying he’d rather play in a Jermy Pruitt ran offense rather than a Josh Heupel ran offense lol.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I think we still have an outside shot of landing him long term if our offense shows any sort of electricity in 2021. It’s not surprising he is choosing Clemson though, it’s hard to compete with what they can offer, which is AT LEAST 1 national title game in your career.

Sheesh

Nah once he commits (regardless of school) it’s over.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I actually think he commits here. I think he wanted to all along, and now it’s a pass heavy offense that can be built around him. If not us, it’s Clemson, but they didn’t think they were leading

This one has been Bama for a long time. Bet AP confirms it this week.

Edit: It's Clemson.

Pruitt handed out expenses to these recruits.

He was a terrible coach who couldn’t develop players he had.
