Preface, I didn’t get to listen to a lot of the postgame show, so it may have been discussed.
But, in all reality, that early Simmons drive probably cost the collective more money in 2025, as programs saw the sky high ceiling and the future stardom surrounding Simmons now. Obviously the secret is out.
With that said, Kiffin/staff and the collective are probably in for a lot more kids when they can point to that and pitch playing with him. Heck, it could possibly even out with players taking a discount knowing they’re going to have success with him.
It can be a pretty ehh recruiting pitch when you show kids tape of your QB2 throwing against Furman, but showing what he did on that drive against Georgia will play well.
Just a thought as I watched that all play out yesterday.
