Simmons, a former three-star recruit from Beaumont, Texas, redshirted in his first year with the program, but was unable to crack the rotation as a second-year player, appearing in just five games and registering only 19 minutes. The 6-foot-3 guard, who was the No. 14 player in Texas out of high school, will leave the Horned Frogs with three years of eligibility left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Simmons signed with TCU over Texas A&amp;M, GCU, North Texas and more. The redshirt freshman becomes the fourth Horned Frog to declare for the portal, joining redshirt sophomore Jace Posey, redshirt sophomore RJ Jones and true freshman guard Kayden \u2018Bugg\u2019 Edwards. Simmons finished the season with averages of 1.0 points, 0.6 rebounds and o.2 assists per game. His season high was three points against Saint Francis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vacancies in the TCU men\u2019s basketball backcourt continue to grow after redshirt freshman guard Ashton Simmons announced his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,35108],"class_list":{"0":"post-244192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news","11":"tag-tcu-basketball"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
