Northwestern lands second-best recruit in program history Casey Simmons
Chris Collins added a huge addition to the class of 2021 Saturday night when four-star shooting guard Casey Simmons announced his commitment to Northwestern.
According to 247Sports.com, Simmons ranks as the second-best recruit in program history, behind only Pete Nance, and joins the now third-ranked recruiting class in the nation.
The Massachusetts native also had offers from a number of top programs like Texas, Boston College, Georgetown, Miami, Penn State, Pitt, Princeton, Rhode Island, Richmond and Xavier.
As the 102-ranked player in the nation, Simmons joins two other top-150 recruits Julian Roper and Brooks Barnhizer in what is now one of the best classes Northwestern has ever seen.
