He was a more highly touted BB recruit before he was a football recruit if I remember correctly.
That guy was 6'8"-6'9" and almost 300 lbs.
ETA: Also, if you've watched Simmons highlights at all you'd know he wasn't a post player.

Simmons can do it all. He's an NBA 3 but will play a ton of 4 next season for us which is fine in college.

are you aware of the kid named Justice at Duke? Very similar in terms of how Simmons will be used at the 4 spot.

Unique basketball experiences have come often for Simmons and he wins the Gatorade National Player of the Year award in-part because of his unique abilities on the floor. At 6-foot-9, Simmons will often play the role of point forward, initiating offense for teammates and setting them up on fast-break opportunities using his exceptional passing ability.
For head coach Johnny Jones at LSU next season, Simmons sees himself in that very position as he wants to help the Tigers reach another NCAA Tournament.
“A point forward; I think that role best describes me,” Simmons said. “Someone who can bring the ball up. But also, being someone who is 6-foot-10, bring the ball up and setting up a play or getting into transition.”
