Vanderbilt landed a high-impact player to its frontcourt Wednesday, as power forward Simi Shittu committed to play for the Commodores in a video for The Players' Tribune:
According to 247Sports, Shittu is a 5-star recruit who ranks as the No. 7 overall player, No. 1 power forward and the No. 1 player from the state of Vermont.
Although Shittu is from Canada, he currently lives in Vermont and plays at Vermont Academy, where he has developed into one of the most dominant forces in the class of 2018.
While Shittu is a big at 6'8" and 210 pounds who seemingly continues to grow, he is also a versatile weapon capable of playing and excelling at multiple positions.
