So far, UCLA has already checked in on Simon this fall at Lincoln while he's only been able to get to Washington during the season.
"I had UCLA come and check on me and that’s it so far but I've been to two Washington games this year," said Simon.
That includes last weekend's game between the Huskies and USC.
"I really liked the USC game because it was fun and I spent the day with my best friend J.T. (Tuimoloau) and there were a lot of ex-professionals and current pros there," said Simon.
Simon visited UCLA during the spring and also checked out Oregon and Washington State in the summer.
"The visits were great," said Simon. "I got to meet with the staff and take a tour of the campuses."
Simon said he won't really do many unofficial visits until after the season and he's not narrowing his list any time soon.
"Just going to some college games is my plan for the rest of the fall," said Simon. "I don't have a top five coming any time soon."
But Simon did say he's building good relationships with a number of coaches.
"Coach DP at UCLA (Don Pellum), coach Bobby Kennedy at Stanford, coach (Jack) Cooper at Nebraska) coach Pete at Washington (head coach Chris Petersen) and lastly coach Bobby April at Wisconsin."
He's also targeting a timeline for a decision.
"I want to be ready by the end of this next summer," said Simon.
I hope Simon, Will Latu, Ethan Calvert and Keith Brown figure out how many spots are available before they get passed on like Jordan Banks
Every one of those guys is a must take.
Yeah but I bet we don't end up with all four. One will probably drag their feet and we'll take somebody else who emerges. Or maybe just take 3. My money is on Brown not being a Dawg. Good chance Ethan isn't either depending on what SC does.

Simon and Latu ITB. BONEM for Brown. Calvert is ours as long as faith comes first at SC.

I understand that all of those players are elite talents but how many inside backers do we need on the roster? Our class next year is likely to not be nearly as big as the last 2. If all 4 wanted on board we’d start the 2021 season with 12 scholarship players at those 2 positions plus Ulofoshio and Fowler as walk-ons. Maybe Tuputala and Calvert end at SAM and maybe we can expect a transfer, but that’s a best case scenario.

I think Calvert has a good chance at starting next year. We were told he was going to play and after seeing Tafisi and Sirmon, it’s easy to understand why.
Simon said he's working on trimming his list and targeting a decision.
"I think it's really going to come down to what happens over these next few months, as schools express feelings and interest," said Simon. "We’re just going to take it slow and see where that goes. I don't want to rush anything but I understand its almost my time. We just have to really take it in and not take it too fast and keep recruiting open. I think by the summer, I should be ready to make a decision."
"I would like to check out LSU," said Simon. "I haven’t been offered yet, but they’ve had interest in me and I feel like if I go down and show my interest, they might extend an offer. But LSU looks like its great down there."
"I know I'm probably going to check out the California schools and Oregon," said Simon. "California is a given because of 7v7, we're going down there a couple of times and I think we’re going to Georgia too so I may check that out."
“When Coach Pete stepped down, my reaction was just like everyone else, I was shocked,” said Simon. “No one was really expecting it. It was a shocking move. But it is what it is. It didn’t drop my interest or gain any more, it’s still the same. Coach Lake, I love him, he’s my guy and I have a good relationship with him and he’s a good coach and he always has a good defense.”
Simon said his relationship with Bob Gregory, who has been running point on his recruitment, is still strong too.
“I always talked more with Coach Gregory and he and I are really close so he just said not much is going to change, they’re still going to have a good defense,” said Simon.

I’m biased against him for sure, but this guy is not getting any better physically. That doesn’t matter if all he needs to get in college is the mental aspect, but it’s hard to ignore. Could take him or leave him.
