Delvon Simmons granted release...

[hermistonduck]

since hines has not state that "he ain't comin'"

i'm just going to have to assume that Simmons is, in fact, comin'.

.


Yep.

[Boom]

Kamp & Koa are both DEs

which is weird because Chip sad on LOI day that Koa is going to be a DT. but hey...

Ya read the rest of the quote asshat

could eventually move inside later in their career.

he's not going to step in playing DT @240-250lbs

I guess it's possible he never sees the field until are current 2 deep graduates, but I doubt it.

[MacDuck]

Simmons makes no bones about it that he wants to play DT in a 4-3 system. Right now, if he came to Oregon, we would likely use him more as a DE when we align in a 3-4, and he really doesn't want that. If he truly sees himself as a DT, then he has to put on 20 lbs or so which he could do, but he won't dominate on the inside, like he did in the USAAB, at his current weight in college.

Reasons why he won't be a Duck:

1. what I stated above
2. CK & Azz aren't beggars like Bellotti was. they quickly move on from guys who don't show they want to come here
3. distance won't help
4. teammate in Texas

My pick Texas Tech, but won't be surprised at all if it's USC.

Those 2 would be my guesses as to which school he chooses.

macduck, you're probly right...

only thing i wonder is, how can USC take yet another player? they are already past 35 commits or something crazy like that for last year, and Simmons obviously isn't enrolling early like the other guys, so......

Yes, I too was under the impression that USC was full up and stretched, as concerns this years recruiting class. Including all the back filling with early entries!

They'll find some kind of loophole that will allow them to take him.

They are still under the appeal so basically no restrictions. Secondly, even if adding Simmons put them over 85 total, it doesn't matter until enrollment time come late August. All they would have to do is ask some other player to greyshirt.

Thanks spambot for bringing this back to my attention. Was there ever any resolution to the Delvon Simmons situation?

Which means he's going to be relatively irrelevant unless he absolutely blows up down there.
