He's running hard, everyone is. It's been a big change. Big is the operative word. Brown said he's relieved this issue is behind him and even more comfortable playing small forward. Anyone who doesn't compete will look bad.

He's very active. He's quick, very quick off the floor, and keeps balls alive. He's not a wild colt, but he's a dangerous kind of player. The fallout from the big lineup means the Blue Demons will play mostly zone. But Simmons could have problems trying to defend a quicker, smaller guard like Cincinnati's Kenny Satterfield.
