On a separate note, Boston College was in yesterday to see Jarrod Simmons at his new school (probably his home public school since he left Cushing) in PA.

Not sure @ the excitement on this one other than that he didn't choose. He'll be one of seven forwards on Harvard's roster, many of whom are more highly rated. His video isn't awe inspiring. If we get Simmons I don't think we'll miss this guy.

It's the reclassification. He'd have had a ton of high-major offers in 2018. He was ranked the No. 2 Canadian prospect in 2018 before the reclass in an 18 class that included a couple of Top 50 kids and some other 3- and 4-stars.
Averaging double-digits with high efficiency in 20ish minutes a game for CIA Bounce and Canada's U17 team is quite the accomplishment. The scouting reads I'm getting on him seem to peg him to the 100-150 range in the 2017 class, and it's generally agreed that he's the best recruit in this class thus far. Again - not my take, I'm not a scout (though I can appreciate a 40% 3-pt shooter across high-level competitions).

Yeah, that one wasn't happening. Jarrod Simmons still could, though.

Bummer but Whyte did read as more of a long shot based on complicating factors (that others have covered here). Have to give Joe Jones credit though - he can def recruit. Always seems to underperform when he gets the kids, but he does get them.
Still hopeful about Simmons and curious who else out there we might be after.

Pennhoops... I always thought it would be Besnoah. But it's the smarter play, Pennhoops was always the smarter one.

Feels like adding Simmons to the other three commits would make it a pretty successful year (on paper, granted). I'll take quality over quantity especially considering the 18 frosh-juniors we already have fighting for minutes.

Simmons is a really good player....my understanding is Penn has legit interest in 2 other players that I haven't seen mentioned....one is kinda interesting and one is really, really good. Again what both makes this league interesting and frustrating to me as a "new" fan is coaches have to deal with things my son-in law couldn't fathom as recruiting is hard enough. Shoot Urban Meyer turned down ND because of the acedemic standards there so I could only imagine the issues involved here.

Hi nyc - thanks for insight as always. Based on that it sounds like it would be fantastic to get Simmons and unnamed player #2 to make for a heck of a class. Fingers crossed here.

Alright nychoops, I'll bite.
Will you name the two players Penn has interest in? And do you know their level of interest in Penn?

I don't know if this qualifies as a thing, or, if it is, as bad, but Jordan Salzman is no longer listed on Penn's Verbal Commits page. I know nothing about this, it could be a bug. Or.
