Well ****. If he is down here for Mday weekend that could be gift or a curse. Gift being that he is gonna have the time of his life especially at his age. And he might fall in love with the city and wanna seriously consider us. Im sure he is gonna see stuff that he will NEVER see anywhere else and has never seen in Lubbock. Curse being that he could just be here casually. Nothing to do with recruiting.

Honestly, the only bad I can see is he gets into trouble but if he has the time of his life then lets be really he will want to transfer here for the city alone. Even if he isn't visiting for UM yet it will give us a chance to just seal the deal as long as Jethro doesn't **** itup
 
IF we get him that changes erthing IMO. Are we even after him? Someone fill me in I have no clue whats going on
 
I really don't see any possible way he wouldnt have to sit out a year. Texas Tech hasn't received any sanctions lately and he cant be finished with his undergrad.

Delvon Simmons' road to Texas Tech was complicated, but his stay was short.

He's elected to transfer, according to multiple reports, leaving a void in the middle of Texas Tech's defensive line. Simmons won a starting job last season and made 27 tackles with six tackles for loss and two sacks.

Simmons, a 6-foot-5, 290-pounder from McKeesport, Pa., came to Texas Tech as a four-star recruit and the No. 3 player in his state. He signed with North Carolina originally, but never played. Tommy Tuberville's staff in Lubbock got Simmons to make the big move from Pennsylvania to West Texas in his 2011 recruiting class.

He would have been a junior this season and showed some promise, but can't seem to catch a break when it comes to coaching changes. He's got tons of talent, but wanted to leave UNC after his position coach took a job in the NFL. Now, another coaching change has him looking elsewhere.

It's not great timing for Texas Tech's defense, who won't find many others on the depth chart with Simmons' physical gifts. He didn't live up to the hype at Tech yet, but he definitely was on the right track. We'll see if he can reboot his career elsewhere.

Simmons, who has two years of eligibility left, will have to sit out the 2013 season if he goes to an FBS school. CBS reported reported Simmons planned to visit USC.
 
If he has to sit out a year, that's fine. Greater need is 2014 assuming we can keep Porter healthy this year. Would just be nice to get him in the program and roll him out in 2014 with a couple JUCOs and high-end HS defensive tackles. Future could be bright if we hit on some of the DTs, and lord knows we're chasing enough of them.
