Ty simpson; really that good?

Just watched his film again. Said before, will say again, TN competition isn't TX level. Simpson's team went 7-5 in 3A in TN.. Klubnik won the state title in the big leagues. Maybe Simpson had a bad defense, but how many games did DW4 lose in HS? How many did Trevor? Or even Big Cinco. Winners WIN. I saw Trevor's film as a freshman and said he is the real deal. I see Simpson and I see a highlight reel of lots of scrambling against mid level HS kids and throwing balls up. Maybe we get him, maybe I'm wrong and he's a star. But I don't see it.

Clemson recruiting director has done an excellent job of evaluating talent to this point (Boyd, Watson, Lawrence and DJ). I think our coaches know what talent looks like and will go after the right player.

I agree we've hit it with the top targets for the most part

and Simpson seems to be in that top category. However, its worth noting Dabo also offered the following QBs:
- Morgan Roberts, Tony McNeal, Cole Stoudt, Tucker Israel, Zerrick Cooper, and Hunter Johnson. Others like Brice and Kelly were probably good evaluations but they just got over recruited here...guys like Roberts, McNeal, Israel and Stoudt were meant to be backups in the process and Cooper and Johnson didnt pan out (and over recruited). Verdict still out on TPhomm.
You are right that since Tajh the only year QB has been an issue was 2014 when Deshaun was a freshman. But that was more on Dabo and our offensive staff for not just playing Watson from Day 1. Then the injuries got us too.

So based on your mindset that winners win...DW4 must not be very good as his team was terrible this year. Guess he has his restaurant to fall back on as according to your metric football is not working out for him.
BTW i have no idea if Simpson will be great or a bust in college but Dabo and Saban seem to think he is pretty good. So its Saban/Dabo vs your opinion...

He does play against small town West TN

and its likely his team doesn't have great players. I could see it being a little tougher to gauge his ability based on that but given his offer sheet and recruiting rankings, they cant be that far off. I do agree though that if you have an elite QB in high school then you typically win a lot of games...but again his team could completely stink and the fact they won 5 is an achievement.

He may or may not work out. He's definitely not the........

"CAN'T MISS, unanimous #1, all world" QB we're used to getting.
That's something we as fans need to realize. Watson, TL, DJ. We've essentially landed an "once in a decade QB" back to back to back. At some point we're not. Another thing to keep in mind, and I haven't looked yet, but I assume our staff has eyes/offers on the #1/2 QBs in the 2023 & 2024 class. So, out recruiting our talent could happen as when DJ moves on in a couple years.

He's our coaches top recruit for QB in 2022 class. Figure he must be good.

I think he's a great prospect

Not the arm talent of Trevor or DJ but I want him to choose us. He's a playmaker that is difficult to contain.

Some times it's the "QB Smarts" coaches see in a prospect that may not be obvious to the average person. Simpson's Dad is the coach at Tennessee Martin and I would imagine he has been a huge factor in his son's development. I would assume the Manning QB prospect in the next recruiting cycle will have gained a lot of "QB Smarts" from his Dad and uncles. Some prospects get a lot of favorable hype if they are surrounded by other talented team mates, whereas a truly talented prospect may not get deserved hype because he plays in a lower classification and/or he is not surrounded by talented team mates.
There are a number of 3*** prospects that receive more offers from Power 5 programs than some higher ranked prospects. This is an indication the coaches see something in a prospect that the so-called recruiting experts do not see.
