The announcement also came with the school that is the most likely landing spot for Simmons.

"Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel that Missouri is Simmons' likely landing spot, and that he's entering the transfer portal with a no contact tag, meaning other schools aren't permitted to contact him," ESPN's Mark Salabach reported.
