Sam (Deuce) Simmons Jr - Class of 2026 Commit

[Spider17]

MDSpider posted in recruiting thread, but thought he should have his own dedicated thread in the main basketball forum as he verbally committed to us. 5’9” PG out of Kansas. Offers from Tennessee, Tulsa, and Missouri State. 3 star recruit on 247 ranked #268 overall in his class and #41 PG in his class. Looks to be a great addition!

His Tulsa offer was for football, but yeah...beating out a Tennessee offer? I'll take it.

Got to like the fact Richmond was able to out recruit an SEC team for a player. Nice to see that Gilly is still stacking up assists for the Spiders

Hope the staff can keep the momentum going for the next class.

Solid pick up. Pre NIL would have been stoked, but harder to get excited about HS recruits. Still a nice pick up.

It says something that he was also able to garner D-1 football offers. Most be a hell of an athlete. His dad also played in the NFL. Agree, super solid pick-up, this is right in Mooney's wheelhouse of targeting small PG.

Other think I like is obviously the Tenneessee interest. They just had a lot of success with Zakai Ziegler, another guy this size.
