The two student-athletes arrived on campus at the start of class.

rebounds per game for SRU. Simmons compiled double-double outputs in 7 games last season. He also tallied 84 block shots during the course of the season. He played two seasons for Marshalltown JC and had originally committed to New Mexico State. Simmons has one season of eligibility left.

Bruce Spruell is a 6'4" guard out of Hanover, MD. He averaged 11.3 points per game and 4 assists per
