if this wan't a pattern we just chalk it up. But the NC kid was shafted in the same way and verbal's to Clemson. 4 months is plenty of time to get organized and knowing your player's and recruits, soemone should have been assigned to each recruit here, so if 50 show then its not a circus, you break them down by position and have the position coaches TCof business. I was also less than inspired by the spring game and "annoiting" Simms when on record nothing would be decided before fall smells pretty back especially after Simms' performance. Again just wasn't handled right. Add to these facts our loss of players and no verbals and it look like Barney Fife is running the show and it's scary.
I understand the frustration. There is no excuse for what happened to this kid. Add his parent's season tickets and it only makes it worse.
Simms may be fine. If he had Tauren Poole and faced the other defense there is no telling how he would have performed. The particular format they used for the spring game lends itself to this kind of speculation. Yes...I too hoped he would look better than he did.
Nick had more than one opportunity to prove himself. When three staffs have the same assessment it is hard to argue with the end result.
For me, it is too early to call "Barney Fife" even though there is a definite Keystone Cop feel to some of the happenings on the Hill.
