Aamir Simms, a junior small forward from The Blue Ridge School in Virginia, picked up an offer from Clemson earlier this month.

The four-star prospect is a high school teammate of Clemson’s lone 2016 commitment, three-star small forward Scott Spencer. Though Simms and Spencer have joked about being a package deal to the next level, the conversation has never moved above the level of playful chatter.

Clemson’s staff would welcome the opportunity for the two teammates to reunite at the college level. Brad Brownell offered Simms a few days after he accepted Spencer’s commitment.

Associate head coach Mike Winiecki serves as the point man in Clemson’s recruitment of Simms.

“As of right now, it’s pretty good. I don’t have the strongest relationship with all of the coaches, not all of them, but Winiecki — (we) have a pretty good relationship,” Simms said. “We talk on a daily basis. He texts me in the morning, asking how I’m doing, checking on me. I just started building up a relationship with coach Brownell. It’s going pretty good.”

Cincinnati, Kansas State, Penn State, Providence and Virginia Tech are among the schools that have also offered.

Simms is impressed with the vibe he’s gotten from the Clemson staff, even though he hasn’t stepped foot on campus yet.

“I can tell they really care about their players and all their recruits and what they do in life, instead of just basketball,” Simms said. “It isn’t always just basketball, but what you’re doing outside of basketball. I really like how welcoming they are to Clemson basketball.”

Two factors will be considered as Simms moves towards a decision.

“A strong relationship with the coaches and academics, strong academics,” he said.

As a sophomore, Simms averaged eight points, seven rebounds and two assists
