Summary
Mississippi State basketball is reloading with a scoring punch in TJ Simpkins, a versatile guard transferring in for his fourth college season after stints at junior college, Elon, and Seton Hall. Last year at Seton Hall, he averaged nearly 10 points, shot over 40% from the field, and dropped 26 points in a win over Xavier. Standing at 6-foot-4, he fits coach Chris Jans’ need for taller guards and joins a backcourt already led by electric scorer Josh Hubbard — a pairing Simpkins actively sought, citing Hubbard’s elite play as the key draw. With high hopes after a disappointing 2023 season, Simpkins is targeting March Madness and thriving in a deeper rotation that includes RJ Johnson and King Grace, both of whom are helping him elevate his game this summer.
