In response to PennFan10
The list of coaches who tell recruits what they want to hear is 300 schools long.
That's true, but some are generally honest, while others have sometimes demonstrated a more casual relationship with the truth (see Carmody, Bill).
Another point: Brodeur and (according to what I have read) Simmons are not big players in the mold of Jeff Foote and Darien N-H. While they both know what to do when they're in the paint with their back to the basket, they both also have the skills to play further from the basket and do a lot of the things that a SF generally does (shoot the 3, guard their man on the perimeter, etc.) Given the approach that Donahue is taking, he might be able to have the two of them on the floor at the same time without changing up the style.
