Lee, Dawson, Simmons, Heyward...

[UOducksTK1]

I for some reason think we grab Heyward, Simmons and Lee. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but we have been recruiting these boys since day one, have the best facilities and need their services right away. Who would not want early playing time on a national title contending team. I hold out hope.

Lee is out of the picture from everything that's been said lately, Simmons would be an amazing pickup but I put our chances at less than 50%, Heyward is likely a Duck.

I wouldn't doubt Lee yet. Ducks still doing an in home visit soon. Our depth chart is highly favorable, so I'm holding out hope. Plus kids seem to really like Frost. And if Lee is religious, I like our chances lol.

I don't think he ends up at Pitt. It seems like he has been eager to get away from home and I would be surprised if a late push by a mediocre Pitt with an unknown situation due to their coaching changes really would be that appealing. I still think it comes down to Texas Tech and Oregon.

Simmons should really look hard at the coaching staffs of TT or Oregon.
Would he really rather be coached by T-O-M-M-Y T-U-B-B-E-R-V-I-L-L-E.

Tommy Tubberville is an excellent coach. He went 13-0 at Auburn in 2004 and got robbed of a shot at the title.

Has put a few players in the NFL as well.

It doesn't sound like they are getting hit as hard as like a USC so I think any sanctions they do have won't affect recruiting too much.

Ok thanks, definitely clears up the picture a bit.

Most of the Texas Tech violations involved the Golf teams.

The odd thing about Simmons is that TT recruits almost exclusively in Texas. The furthest North for a high school commit in their class this year is from the state of New Mexico. One stud player from Florida. Getting a player from Pennsylvania is a real outlier. Anyone know what the connection is here to TT?

Another interesting thing is there is virtually no chatter on the TT Scout board about him, just one small thread on the insider board.

His high school coach is the connection

Well Mops is Tweeting that they're discussing a potentially "game changing" recruit over at 247. Feb 2nd could be real interesting.

Not a memeber, but from the free posts, one mentions SC and another asks if his bro was a TE.

My guess....

Hmmm seems like a good guess to me

I would be very happy if we landed Grimble. I wonder what the interest level is.

[dthomas=ddixon]

These are the times I wish I had a subscription haha. Grimble would be a sick get, wish we could know whether he actually has serious interest in committing here or he's just looking around a little.

[PDXShogun]

I know he had pretty strong interest in us early but our coaches didn't really pursue him; very similar to the Jon Lewis situation. Anything's possible, but with a brother at SC I'd be surprised if anything came of this.

Hopefully these last second reach-outs to these guys isn't sign that we're missing out on some of our longer term prospects.

[Braveheart]

Haven't heard anything about this, but there hasn't ben anything about USC and Grimble for months. Maybe you guys might get lucky?

[greenyellow]

Definitely not hopeful on Grimble if that's the player they are talking about. Seems kind of odd that he would possibly decommit from a school with his brother already there to come somewhere with hardly any time left in the recruiting cycle.

This sounds great but it doesn't sound like Grimble to me because he is not a "game changer" (for us) but he's would be a great get and he was interested at one point.

I wonder who mops and co were talking about?
