On April 8th, TCU's men's basketball team just took another hit in the backcourt, with redshirt freshman guard Ashton Simmons entering the transfer. Portal late Tuesday, the 6'3 Texas native, a former three-star recruit, ranked as the number 14 player in his home state, barely saw the floor this season. Simmons redshirted his first year and only played in five games as a sophomore, logging 19 total minutes with averages of 1.0.6 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. His best output was three points against St.
Francis. Now he's the fourth-horned frog guard to Bolt, joining redshirt sophomores Jace Posey and R.J. Jones, plus true freshman Caden Bug Edwards. All of them leaving means big vacancies and tough roster decisions ahead for the program.
Coaches are scrambling as Simmons heads out with three full years of eligibility still on the table. He picked TCU over spots at Texas A&M, Grand Canyon, North Texas, and others back in recruiting. This portal shakeup signals more changes coming for the horned frogs, so keep an eye on how they rebuild that backward depth before next season tips. Off.
