SG D'Marcus Simonds (Georgia State Commit)

[jazyj]

"Dream school" is a tricky term. We currently have one commit called us his "dream school" (Jalen Adams), one recommit who called us his "dream school" (Prince Ali, not sure about Turtle), and are after Enoch who also views UConn as his "dream school". Enoch may be a little different considering he's actually at CT kid whereas Prince is NY/FL and Jalen is MA.

but after receiving the Florida offer he set a date to commit, he probably backed off a little because his parents or someone advised him to at least explore more options

I was extremely disappointed to see that one of the handy-dandy, color coded recruiting tags was not appended to this title.

I think this thread was created before the Crayola tags were available.

Or else Nomar started it.

Simonds is taking another unofficial to Florida.

 

[CTGoonie]

He just announced on twitter he is committing tonight at 8.

 

[JLock819]

No way it's us.

 

[UCweCONN]

He still wants to know exactly what that signifies.

I guess that means UK? UNC/Duke/Kansas? Are we in that second group yet recruiting-wise? Are we higher on the list than FL?

Drop UNC from that list.

Probably no interest on our end but Eli Cain a 6'6 wing from St. Benedicts just decommitted from Delaware.

2015. Simonds is 2016. Plus, Cain is a point guard, not a wing. Probably won't be interested in coming here.

We're UCONN dammit!!! We don't need any Delaware sloppy seconds.

You know you're quoting a post from July, right?

Yes, I thought since he's delaying he might be considering bigger name schools.

 

[intlzncster]

Drop UNC from that list.

Someday, if there is any god whatsoever, you'll be able to replace UNC with UK in that sentence.

Gotcha... I always thought he was a Florida lock.

Mississippi State Commit

 

[Dynasty]

He chose MS State. I guess Florida didn't want him.

 

[tcf15]

“@InsideBBRecruit: 2016 4* Gainesville (GA) G Dmarcus Simonds (@TwoSpicee) tells me he has reopened his recruitment from Mississippi State.”

Mississippi State coach was recently fired, and we were involved with Simonds in the past.

 

[Zionn]

He just favorited my tweet 'begging' him to come to uconn. ; )

Yeah his Twitter is @TwoSpicee and a few people have responded to his announcement tweet with "UConn". Couldn't hurt for more of us to do that and just let him know we have a fanbase who would love to have him.

If you were wondering if he can dunk:

 

[Conor Gereg]

 

[upstater]

Confused: is he 2016 or 2015?

 

[SirHypeAlot]

threw him a tweet and was also favorited.

 

[rip7774]

2016 - did he attend rak's HS? I think we were on him but he was loving UF and we had prince at the time. Might b a good fit, scorer says he is mid range assassin. I have no idea, don't follow recruiting that much but am pretty worried so I'm starting to follow again.
