Training camp will begin soon, and
Graham Sims and his staff will have a little less on their plate. The first member of Lafayette's recruiting class is signed, sealed, and delivered.
Let's meet him now, shall we?

As you might guess,
Duncan is the son of
Graham and
Mary Kate Sims. According to Graham, who walked on at Villanova, "he's definitely a better high school player than I was." The rankings back up Dad's claim; Duncan is a solid three-star player and one of the better point guards in the East.
Duncan is a typical coach's son, a smart player who does things the right way. He's a good ballhandler and passer with the potential to be very good, and he's got a textbook jumper with three-point range. Like many second-generation players, especially those who are guards, he is cold cash money from the free throw line.
There's no expectation that Duncan will waltz into a starting role. He's a Red/Green player, and Lafayette has two older, more polished point guards in
Kamari Stone and
Charles Allen.
So, my daughter's idea to have a FBCB "brother" to play for Dad is working so far!
Welcome to the family, Duncan.
