That is kind of surprising, he caught 6 passes for 82 yards and a TD at A-Day. Yes, as a second string guy but still, that's not the kind of numbers you see someone who is going to be perpetually buried in the depth chart put up.
It makes you wonder if those freshmen are jumping him already.

Right. He was expected to contribute this year.

Also strange how he just announced he's transferring to WVU. Usually, the announcement to transfer comes first then the destination later.

If UA summer 7-on-7 reports are accurate, TJ Simmons' transfer may confirm rave reviews of freshman WRs Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith & Shavers.

Cecil tweeted this this morning, so I'm going to say yes.

Competition is good. It has a tendency to weed out some of the kids. Best of luck to him at West Virginia.

Yep! It also opens up a scholly for another kid in the 2018 class who wants to compete.

I am glad Jake Coker decided to come here instead of competing at FSU.

Yep, you are correct. I believe we are now at 86, so we still need to lose one more.
That number is based on the guys that have signed on NSD plus Wallace and Mosley getting scholarships. There's always the chance a guy like Keaton Anderson is paying his own way.

Seeing BAMA doesn't officially release who is on scholarship we could be under 85 for all we know. Saban has a plan and I doubt he was counting on this transfer so, either we were at 85, now 84 or he knows someone ain't qualifying.

Not sure if this figured into the equation but Will Grier has been cleared to start for West Virginia at the start of this season by the NCAA. Supposed to be very impressive in spring practice and scrimmages.

Everyone for this class is already on campus, so there's no qualifying questions.

He's already said we are taking 22 guys this upcoming recruiting cycle, so we're clearly close on numbers. We have at least 3 juniors leaving early (Ridley, Payne, and Fitzpatrick).
