D’Marcus Simonds, 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Gainesville, signed a letter of intent to attend Georgia State on Wednesday.
Simonds is considered one of the state's top players after leading Gainesville High to the second round of the playoffs earlier this year. He was named honorable mention all-state by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Georgia State will lose four seniors off this year’s team, which opens its season on Friday against Middle Georgia State at the Sports Arena.
