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.
