Collins on Simmons: "Casey Simmons is a very talented player. He is a super athletic, versatile, long, aggressive wing player. He can slash, he can play above the rim and he's a terrific defender. He's a guy who's gotten better every year in high school. His upside is off the charts and we can't wait to get him into our program. I think he has a chance to have an outstanding future here at Northwestern."
