Simmons’ talent level, and the production that led to his team’s dominance among the nation’s top teams, today earns him the 2014-15 Grassroots Hoops Mr. Basketball USA title.
Simmons, a native of Australia and LSU recruit, is the first ever Mr. Basketball USA honoree from a Florida program. The landscape of high school basketball is rapidly changing. Many of the nation’s top players don’t attend traditional high schools anymore and there is more foreign-born talent in America’s high school ranks than ever before. Simmons’ honor reflects that change.
