Another great get! She scored 48 pts as a soph.
“Simpson made headlines during the frosh track season this past spring. She won the Division 2 state championship in the high jump, and her mark of 5-feet, 10 inches, set a meet record. Simpson also finished runner-up in the 400 run (58.36) and third in the 200 dash (26.26).
“She never did track in her life and she went in and set a state record in the high jump. She is a freak athlete,” Breimayer said. “To top it off, when you talk about a great kid, she is it. She is very respectful, a leader. When the little kids are in there during the summer, she is the first one to high-five them. She is a good kid.
“She puts hours and hours in. She put up over 40,000 shots last summer. She tracks her shots. She is in the gym at 6 a.m., working out an hour-and-a-half before school. She has earned it, there is no doubt about it. It is not given to her. She works for it.”

Common theme in all of these 2023 and 2024 commitments from Coach Meek is they can jump and run from the bigs to the smalls. Probably that UConn DNA in her.
Lets hope the ACL fix was a permanent one. Unfortunately its an injury that likes to re-injure so fingers crossed. She had a bunch of Power-5 schools back off of her after the injury so Meek is taking a calculated risk. Simpson was also being recruited to run track at Notre Dame.

Grant averaged 15 and 10 as a sophomore for powerhouse Africentric and was 2nd Team All Ohio. Had offers from UD, Pitt, Marshall, Ohio State, BGSU and some others.
When most kids tear an ACL all the bigs back off as they look like damaged goods. The blue bloods want certainty. Dayton and others can take chances on these kids and put faith in successful rehabs to get a diamond others passed on. Calculated risk.
She's got a chance to be really good if she can come back healthy.

Not sure who else was recruiting her, but she looks to be a steal. First team all-Canada.

Hey Barney, will you say all five of her names when she makes a basket?

Before anyone says "but but but....its lowly Division III!", a young woman by the name of Justine Raterman was a D-III First Team All State player from Versailles and ended up having a pretty okay career to say the least.
We'll know when they get here and get on the court.
