Coach Willie Simmons | There’s so much I want to unpack with the current situation down in Daytona, but I can’t do it in 280 characters.

There’s so much I want to unpack with the current situation down in Daytona, but I can’t do it in 280 characters. Just know I hate it for the young people there because no matter how you personally feel about how things transpired, they’re the ones who lose in the end!

I was excited for Ed Reed and think he would’ve done well at Bethune. Though going live was bad timing, I feel as though there could’ve been accountability from him and the university. I was hoping that they can reconcile to reach a deal.

Wish B-CU the best in coaching search.
— G. Thomas III (@3peatgee) January 21, 2023

I feel for those high school prospects that were on B-CU’s campus today. Especially this late in the recruiting process.
