This kid could be our Patrick Peterson type recruit for basketball that puts us on the national map in recruiting

The future beneficiary of Simmons' talents is LSU, where the five-star prospect committed in October, 2013.
"Definitely Louisiana, I like the location of that," Simmons explained. "And with the coaching staff that's there, I feel really comfortable going there. (Tiger assistant coach) Dave Patrick (is) obviously my godfather. I know (LSU freshman forward) Jarrell Martin, so I have a lot of connection with him. I met him my first camp in Pangos, so I grew a relationship with him. So that was definitely a big factor."
Barring something completely unforeseen, Simmons said that he's "definitely" still solid with LSU.
"(I'm solid) unless, I don't know, unless the school closes down," Simmons smiled. "I doubt that will happen."
What part of beginning his career at LSU is Simmons most looking forward to?
"Definitely just playing and going to college," Simmons said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

I'll be in Minnesota for the 4th EYBL session. Look forward to seeing Ben play in person for the first time.

The fact were getting this kid is a blessing in itself. Game changer for sure. But, this kid sounds like he really loves the school. If we could keep him for at least 2 years, dear lord.

I'm praying and hoping that Jordan and Jarell want to stick around for their junior seasons to ball with Simmons. My gosh the roster would straight nasty. The home basketball games would be so fun. Would be the most talented roster at LSU since Tyrus and Big Baby at the very least.

I could see Jarell for one more year, maybe. Mickey was so close to leaving, I would count on this being his last year...regardless though Simmons will have solid pieces around him, I have no doubt about that

Yeah i agree on the Mickey part. Jordan would be a top 20 pick if he was 6'10" 235. Hopefully being 6'8" 220 keeps him in school longer. I'm hoping that both Jarell and Mickey want to play with Simmons really bad.

I think he will end up being the #1 recruit in the 2015 class. There are some other good players, but none can do all the things that Simmons can.
