Quietly grinding at TCU, with size, guard skills, and a long runway
Ashton Simmons is a 6-3 guard for TCU who arrived as a three-star recruit ranked No. 31 among combo guards and No. 14 in Texas in the 2024 class, giving the Horned Frogs a developmental backcourt piece with real upside[7][14]. In the 2025-26 season, his production was modest—about 1.0 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in limited minutes—but his frame, versatility, and recruiting pedigree suggest a player worth betting on if your staff values long-term growth over instant stats[2][6][11]. He also missed his first year and later entered the transfer portal, so the key question is less about box-score fireworks and more about whether a program wants a patient, athletic guard who still has runway to bloom[5][9].
