USF Dons' Rebounding Force from a Bygone Era
Necolia Simmons, a 6'0" forward/center for the San Francisco Dons in the late 2000s, dominated the glass as the program's career No. 4 rebounder at 8.0 rpg (2007-09) while averaging 11.5 ppg and 8.0 rpg as a key transfer in 2007, shooting efficiently alongside star Dominique Carter. High school legend from Deer Valley (22.8 ppg, 10 rpg as senior) and Antioch Hall of Famer, her physicality, scoring touch, and leadership shone in WCC play. Now a distant memory in 2026, she was the blue-collar anchor teams craved for gritty rebounding battles.
