Ohio point guard Jaaron Simmons has told Saul Philips and Co. that he will not be returning to Athens for the 2017-18 season. He will head to Ann Arbor and be eligible immediately. The report was first put out by the Athens Messenger.
Simmons was first team All-MAC selection in the 2016-17 season. He averaged 15.9 points with 6.5 assists per game this season. Simmons has, however, declared for the draft and has not pulled out of the process yet.
“Jaaron informed me today of his intention to transfer to Michigan,” Ohio head coach Saul Philips told MLive on Monday night.
