Recruiting Simmons’ father explains flip: The schedule was too hard

[Oklahoma Gator]

That quote sounds almost too on the nose

 

[oxrageous]

Did he really actually say he decommitted because the schedule is too hard? This is what you want in a QB?

At least Mertz has a pair I guess.

If he sincerely meant that, then good riddance. I think it's a cover, but who knows maybe the kid is retarded.

He did.

1. Schedule is too hard
2. They have Lagway
3. Wasn’t good enough to play for O’Sullivan.
4. The attorneys didn’t like the deal. Probably NIL.

If that was a cover, it's embarrassing as hell. How does he think it sounds?

The Father's cover story isn't very convincing.

His son will take major $hit for the "tough schedule" comment.

By God I remember when a boy was boy and a girl was a girl. A 2025 Gator commit is now identifying as a 2023 Ole Miss player? This world sure is weird these days.

You’re one to talk

I honestly thought that was us busting his balls. Had no clue he actually said that.

They didnt use to allow posting from prison.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

any last words?

Chris Rainey returns!

What we need is a fancy car that 99.7% of them will never be able to afford. Snap a couple pics of them sitting in it, ya know. That’d probably do it.

Sun Belt Billy doing that has got to be one of the douche-e-ist recruiting ideas I’ve ever seen. This clown is in wayyyyyyy over his head. The sooner we acknowledge & fix this mess, the better off we’ll be. Ahhh, maybe not. We’d probably just hire some other lightweight to replace him.

We're talking about a kid who's supposed to be a junior in hs and played at the lowest level of competition in this state. He was never going to help us this year . There's plenty of time find a 25' kid. I just found this whole pushing for him early odd. In the grand scheme of things this isn't that big a deal to me.

The first 3 were in the article. Where did you hear #4?

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Kid has like a 5.86 GPA, why wouldn't admissions allow him?

He doesn’t have a 6.2 GPA, his SAT is only 1540 and he’s not Asian.

It probably wouldn’t have been except for Billy pushing for it and losing a commit who flipped to an in-conference school. Pushing hard for this kid in 2023 reeks of desperation on our part, IMO.

It was weird move and yeah maybe a little desperate for sure. But not the end of the world imo. When it's time to melt down I think I'm one of the best here at that.

 

[Zambo]

So some pimple faced 14 year old kid isn’t coming to save us?

Damn.

 

[Tunaboat]

How old is this kid - 16? What the hell has this world come to?

17. Turns 18 this fall.
