Saw on FB that Simms is leaving. What's he got going one?
https://bluegoldnews.com/west-virginia-mountaineers/wvus-simms-on-to-another-chapter/
He missed spring practice due to personal issues. You never know what that details. (grades, family, health, depression, can't handle being the guy, friends are now in the NFL. Can't handle changing coaching staff)
Simms was the recipient of a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit against Oklahoma Sooners in the regular season finale. Simms caught a short hitch and immediately turned upfield. Unfortunately, the catch would be the last of his career. Simms told the previous coaching staff he would be unable to play in the bowl game due to a leg injury less than an hour before the game.
Simms participated in the first two spring practices with the new coaching staff before the hamstring issue reoccurred and then Simms left the team for a personal matter. He has not returned.
Who knows. He might like Houston and his WR coach Tyron Carrier.
His Dad is involved.
Think his Dad wants something else for his son or he truthfully was upset by the reactions of some fans to his son.
But his dad is in his ear.
I will say this.
There are certain positions you don't want to lose players in.
You are not Iowa.
Dana recruited the position well enough that you have enough talent at that position.
A projected starter on the OL or DL leaving would have been different
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but as I recall, in 1988 Coach Nehlen would replace the entire offensive line on the 3rd series and maybe every 3rd series after that. That was one of the reasons we were so good again in '89. That starting line with Kevin Koken, Brian Smider, Rick Phillips (RIP), John Stroia, and Bob Kovach was as good as I have seen at WVU. You look at the names on that roster, on both sides of the ball, and it is not surprising the Mountaineers played for the NC that year. Too bad Major got hurt in the 1st series against ND.This is true. Even a LB leaving this year would hurt more. But the OL and DL have been thin for years. Haven't had a truly full OL since the Dandy Don Days.
Euell, you are correct. Not every 3rd series, but most. He did this for years. Also DN recruited 5 OL most years. He developed most of them by RSing their FR year. It was a right of passage to start your RSR year. Always had upper classmen manning the line as starters and most of the 2nd team. It wasn't until RR came along and wanted much lighter / quicker lineman for the spread option. With that he didn't need the 18-20+ OL schollies. It was that way on both sides of the line. Skill positions over beef every year, year after year. Hopefully Brown fixes this.Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but as I recall, in 1988 Coach Nehlen would replace the entire offensive line on the 3rd series and maybe every 3rd series after that.

Ok, so after all the replies, nobody knows. Got it. Check
So far this thread is about a FB post. Has there been anything official from the athletic department regarding this?
