Sophia Simone brings size-and-rebound value for Akron
Sophia Simone is a forward whose best case is easy to understand: she gave Akron usable frontcourt minutes in the 2015-16 season, appearing in 14 games and posting career highs of 6 points and 4 rebounds in a win over West Georgia.[7] As a recruit, she was a top-79 player in Ohio in high school, with a stat profile built around scoring, rebounding, and disruptive defense.[3] She profiles as a steady, low-drama fit if you want toughness, board work, and depth rather than high-usage scoring.[2][3]
