A Desmond Simmons update

Here's Jim Basnight at his Washington hoops blog on former Salesian star Desmond Simmons:  

"...Freshman Desmond Simmons, who is red-shirting this year, is not wasting away on the bench. According to his tweet on Thursday the combo forward, who will be a freshman next year, is up to "220 lbs today". This is great news for UW fans, as Washington will need to continue to build it's front court.

Having Simmons big enough to handle bigger guys defensively and to navigate to interior where he tends to play is going to help Washington tremendously..."
