From Clemson
Per our intel, Simpson has maintained communication with at least those first three staffs this week -- although we have framed the Vols as being out of the picture, per our sources. Furthermore, as we indicated stood to happen, we can tell you Simpson has not informed Clemson of his decision as of late Thursday night.
The Tigers have continued to push, and based on what we've gathered, feel more encouraged by their feedback over the last 48 hours.
While that should not be dismissed, we also recognize this to be the heightened time for smokescreens and misdirection.
Two weeks ago, we were the first voice to begin pointing the arrow decidedly in Bama's direction, and we are skeptical Simpson has made a sudden turn one way or another.
This one has unfolded differently than Clemson is accustomed, and we have had reason to think that might not be a favorable omen.
