Hannah is a serious offensive weapon and a threat to score every time she touches the ball. While she’s known for her brilliant three-point shooting, she proved she’s much more than just a perimeter scorer. Hannah showed she can put the ball on deck and make things happen. A high-IQ player who understands the game, she cuts and moves well without the ball and her defense is serviceable.

Hannah is an efficient scorer who can put up points quickly when she gets going. She finishes well around the rim with either hand and can knock down shots even when defenders are contesting. She also makes an impact defensively with active hands and the ability to create turnovers.

Simmon is so menacing driving to the hoop, provides secondary distribution when needed and she obstructs opposing ballhandler’s rhythm with her length. Hannah is a bright gem with a ton of potential. Her latest performances show a ’29 that looks extremely confident in her abilities and shows grace under pressure too.

Hannah delivered a strong performance recently at Prime Events, finishing with 23 points in a close game while knocking down 4 threes and adding 6 rebounds. She totaled 11 three-pointers over the course of the weekend, showing her consistency as a perimeter threat. She makes smart decisions with the ball, knowing when to shoot, attack, or pass, and also brings active hands defensively, often poking the ball loose to create turnovers.

Hannah is arguably the top shooter in the 2029 class, and she made a strong case over the weekend at the Prime Events Midwest. She finished with 19 points and six made threes in her first game against Indy One EYCL, followed by 23 points and four triples in a close win over Legends U Fisher. In total, Hannah drained 11 three-pointers across the event. A prospect trending upward, she looks poised to continue building momentum throughout the AAU season.

Hannah Simmon Hannah Simmon 5'10" | SG/PG CEC Cougars | 2029 State KY debuts as the No. 9 ranked 2029 prospect in Kentucky. She averaged 23.1 points, 3.3 steals, 2.7 assists, and 3 rebounds per game for the LKY Saints, a homeschool program in the Louisville area. A lengthy guard with a pure shooting stroke, Hannah has excellent mechanics and knocks down threes with impressive accuracy. Beyond scoring, she’s a capable passer and a serviceable defender. She also turned in a productive AAU season with one of the nation’s premier club programs, WV Thunder. A trailblazer in her own right, Hannah’s upside and potential is undeniable.

I love how Hannah provides instant spark! Nice change in direction with the ball- keeps it tight. She makes the defense come out to guard her, especially after knocking down deep 3’s! But her quick release is what is so impressive! You want the rock in her hands!

Simmon is a rarity in the sense that she’s playing for a home schooled team but is amongst the top 2029s in Kentucky. Not a knock on home school teams but we in Kentucky have not seen a ton of good home school teams over the years. Hannah is a big time scorer and is playing on one of the top AAU programs in America with the West Virginia Thunder on UAA.

We don’t often feature home schooled athletes. Especially middle school ones but Hannah comes highly recommended for this list from my former co-worker Alyx White of RiseUp Sports. It will be interesting to see if Simmon ends up playing high school ball at a traditional high school next year.
