Originally part of 2006 recruiting class. Would have 3 years to play 2.

MLive - 3/31
THE Ohio State University has shown some interest in the 6-2 sophomore and surefire national player of the year.
Simmons' recruitment is still wide open with four official visits still remaining.
OSU becomes another in a long line of courtiers with their sights set on Simmons, who visited the University of South Florida (Big East) and head coach Stan Heath this past weekend.
The Bucks' level of interest in Simmons will not be known until after their NIT run. OSU will take on Ole Miss in the semifinals of the NIT on Tuesday night.

Grin and 'Bear' it: Mott Community College wins back-to-back national titles

Danville, Ill. - With each passing win, the Mott Community College Bears and their head coach, Steve Schmidt, make a little more history. Not school history, of course, those records are already written in Schmidt's own hand.
We're talking national history.
No junior college has ever won three national championships; and no junior college has gone back-to-back since 1993--until now.
The Bears finished out an historic season with a nail-biting 83-73 victory over Columbus State in the finale of the NJCAA national championship game.

Mott head coach Steve Schmidt can't put his finger on exactly what makes his All-American sophomore Jeremie Simmons one of the premier JUCO players in the country. He just knows it when he sees it.
"He has that 'something' that not too many players have," said Schmidt after Simmons willed the Bears to an 80-66 victory over Kalamazoo Valley in the semifinals of the MCCAA state tournament on Friday night. "It's hard to describe. He's focused, consistent and driven. He hit some tough shots tonight when nobody else was in sync. He just has that intangible."

Rest of MLive Jerome Simmons' entries

Windy City
Former Von Steuben Prep Star, Jeremie Simmons, was recently named MVP of the JUCO Camp in Indianapolis. The 6-2 combo guard out of Mott CC in Flint, Michigan was impressive with his all around strong play and could very easily be rated the number one JUCO point guard in the nation. It was out of high school Windy City Basketball was singing Simmons' praises over more highly rated in state guards and tried pushing Simmons to Mid to High Major programs. Many questioned Simmons' ability to run the Point Guard position while Windy City thought his best position on the next level would be point guard. Congrats to Jeremie Simmons and Good Luck.....Next up for Simmons is Mullens JUCO Camp in Tulsa.

How many years does PJ Hill have left here (or is that a year by year renewal thing)?

Can he shoot the ball? A true pass-first point guard?

I agree I was just curious how the numbers game worked. Talked to a few locals up north and they rave about the kid. Some really don't want to see OSU snag him :wink:

That means we should jump all over him:biggrin2:... with all due respect to Hill and I just didn't see a real offensive threat and I am uncomfortable with a freshman PG. This would be a nice addition.

I'm not sure if the University of Detroit has settled on a new coach yet, but Coach Schmidt is a candidate and if he's hired, you'd have to think there's a very good chance that all the stud sophs he had on his team this year would follow him to UDM.

Recruiting update: Matta visits guard

Coach Thad Matta was in Flint, Mich., on Sunday to visit point guard Jeremie Simmons, Mott Community College coach Steve Schmidt said today, and a Simmons visit to the Ohio State campus may be in the offing after he returns from playing in a junior-college all-star game in Phoenix this weekend.
?There?s a strong interest on Ohio State?s part and I think on Jeremie?s part,? Schmidt said.

Would love to see an offer go out...if it hasn't already.

Some more I found:

HotBed Hoops - Flint Journal - MLive.com: Search - 4/10/08

Flint - Mott's highly-recruited sophomore combo guard, Jeremie Simmons, will not be taking his official visit to Butler this weekend.

Additional visits are expected to be firmed up in the near future. Simmons' coach expects him to be thorough in the process, something he expects from all of his players.

Simmons, who was named a first team All-American this week, is being recruited by major conferences including the Big Ten, SEC and Big East. He is also the frontrunner for the national player of the year award.

Jeremie Simmons: Ohio State was in Flint to see Simmons recently and Columbus may be Simmons' next destinatoin for an official visit. Alabama is also in the mix for an official visit as well. More on those two schools if and when visits are finalized. Head coaches from the University of Dayton and South Florida were also in town late last week to see Simmons.
