As we try to do for all of UC's commitments, I had a Rivals analyst (Adam Friedman in this case) break down Simms and talk about what it means for the Bearcats:

With the 2023 basketball recruiting cycle coming to a close, there’s one other name to keep an eye out that’s not Isaiah Collier.

As you know, Collier will announce a decision on November 16th. Many people connected in the industry believe he’ll head west for USC. That’s up for debate.

I spoke with a source connected to Kilgore CC (TX) and they said Cincinnati is still in play for combo guard DaVeon Thomas. Baring Collier’s decision, Cincinnati could make a full court press on the 6-foot-1, 185 pound sophomore.

Miller saw Thomas in person which led to an offer back in June. Thomas has seen interest from other power 5 suitors including WVU.

With limited scholarships, the transfer porter, etc - it’ll be interesting to see how Miller and Co. play this recruitment. But Thomas and Collier might be Cincinnati’s most realistic options to finish the 2023 class.

Here are some highlights the South Carolina native:
