Sim is a giant of a young man at 7'4 and 315 pounds (at 17) and already has offers from Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and West Virgina of the Big East for the 2012 class. Michigan is looking at him but hasn't offered yet. His parents live in Toronto and Sim and his 7'2 brother (age 15) play at Huntington Prep in West Virgina.
I watched some highlights on him and he is pretty athletic for a huge man and has some touch on his jumper. He does labor down the court and won't exactly lead any fast breaks. I was pretty impressed and with some good coaching and skill development he could turn into a very nice D1 player. Here is an article SI.com did on him this summer.
I know U of M isn't a carnival but how much would you pay for a summer event (for charity of course) where HokeAMania would wrestle Sim "Andre the Giant" at the Big House? It could beat the "Big Chill" record or they could go old school at put in back at the Silver Dome.
