SG D'Marcus Simonds (Georgia State Commit)

[rip7774]

Confused: is he 2016 or 2015?

I thought he was 2015 also. But he is 2016.

Wow! And he committed to them in 2014? With a Florida and UConn offer? 2 years early?

Crazy huh! I know! I think he was real tight with an assistant there.

He has a really good looking shot. No way to tell if he can guard a chair from the video of course, but gets up to dunk with ease. It would be great to get a pure shooter.

 

[UCweCONN]

He's got the Husky crossover step back jumper we've seen once or twice in the last few years......

I will have to watch a video very intrigued!!!

Did we ever figure if he went to rak's HS

According to reports he scores by slashing and playing above the rim, with a developing jumper. His perimeter shooting is his weakness actually. He sure as hell finishes through contact though.

Yes, Lubin and Simonds were teammates.

Yes, he was Rock's teammate.

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

We need to start tweeting Diamond Stone more. His UW Badger retweets are getting out of control and those Badger fans are getting quite obnoxious.

when mack chose vcu he said he loved the love he got from the fans constantly tweeting him, said they're crazy/great

Yup. Anybody who thinks it doesn't help to show these kids love on social media is fooling themselves. They live on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.

It's still creepy as ****. But that's just how it is.

Thanks, good to know. Videos can lie (and I can be wrong), but he did look good on the ones he made, good balance and nice high release. Looks like he could be a player.

Go get em KO

 

[Yankees32123]

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:

I really like the elevation on his jumpshot.

I honestly think we are out of the running for Diamond Stone. I think it's down to Maryland and Wisconsin for him. Doesn't help that we were in the NIT this year while MD and WIS are having great seasons.

Wow really

 

[bmo22]

Miss. St. also has 3 guys committed in 2015. It'll be interesting to see if any of them back out. Two guards and a big man.

 

[pnow15]

We need shooters.

Well it's too bad he didn't commit after we actually just won the whole tournament. Wis and Maryland are still a couple weeks away from dreaming about that.

Watched an entire game when Rock was playing in HS. Just loved Simonds. High energy kid with a decent handle and plays solid defense. He carried the team in the game I watched. Would love him at UConn.

Recruitment is fluid. It's been said over and over, but it's true. All it takes is one thought to manifest and bring one last momentum swing towards us.

I'm not saying that it's likely, but I'm not throwing in the towel on Diamond Stone until he commits elsewhere.

It is creepy. but I've been saying that the fans needs to get out there and show love to these kids. Not being creepy but showing an excitement jn recruiting them and knowledge of their game

All three are 4 stars.

Actually, only one is (Quinndary Weatherspoon). Tookie Brown and Joseph Struggs are 3-stars.
