Kobi Simmons to Arizona: 5-star point guard recruit signs National Letter of Intent with the Wildcats

The Arizona Wildcats have received a signed National Letter of Intent from Kobi Simmons, officially landing the No. 21 recruit of the 2016 recruiting class.

"My relationship with Coach [Sean] Miller is very strong, and he is going to put the ball in my hands and allow me to make plays on and off the ball," Simmons told ESPN. "Also, I think the Arizona style of play and the Pac-12 Conference's style of play best fits my game."

The 6-foot-5 point guard from Alpharetta, Georgia wasn't initially seen as a prime recruiting target for Arizona, and his decision to head to the desert came together rather quickly.
