Harbaugh in martin tn

Submitted by coachdad on January 22nd, 2020 at 9:32 AM

A buddy of mine ran into Harbaugh in Martin,Tn. He was in town to talk to Ty Simpson, the son of University of Tennessee at Martin head coach Jason Simpson. The little airport was booming because in addition to Harbaugh, Jeremy Pruitt, Dabo, and Lincoln Riley were in town. Kid hasn't produced big numbers but they say he slays it in 7 on 7's. Big strong athletic kid.

So when Harbaugh, Pruitt, Dabo and Riley are all in the same podunk town watching the same basketball game, etc., do they avoid each other or do they hang out?   How does that work?   Is it like in Johnny Be Good where the coaches are elbowing each other out of the way to talk to the recruit?

 

...and who would have thought that Robert Downey Jr. and Uma Thurman would have been the action stars out of those three?

Fake News.   I've been told by people on the internet Harbaugh doesn't personally recruit anymore, doesn't care about recruiting in general and is happy being 8-4.  

Must be a doppelganger like The Outsider.

That is kind of the word on the street that Jason Simpson will probably go where his son goes. He has done a pretty good job at UTM. They have no facilities and no money and have competed pretty well in the OVC.Of course nobody actually knows anything it is all just gossip now. The little town of Martin was jumping with excitement yesterday.

Don't these college coaches realize how much damage they're causing the environment by flying private jets to recruit?  How dare they!  In addition to angry fans and alums who get hopes up then demolished, now they will have to answer to Greta Thunberg!

I'm not sure what the point of any of those coaches showing up is. If they weren't there on Saturday (or whenever the first day of visitations was), then those programs obviously have not shot at him.

Hard to see this kid leaving the south.  If he does, OSU or Oklahoma would probably be the choice given what they have done with qb's over the past 5 years.
