About this listen

On this episode of The Blue Demon Room, DePaul men's basketball alum Bobby Simmons shares his story of perseverance, pride, and purpose. Simmons reflects on growing up on Chicago's South Side, his rise through Simeon High School, and joining a nationally ranked recruiting class that helped shape DePaul Basketball in the late '90s. He takes us behind the scenes of his NBA Draft night, including a surprise call from one of the greatest to ever play the game, and opens up about why giving back to DePaul means so much to him, from creating a scholarship fund to mentoring current student-athletes. Plus, he offers a glimpse into what's next in his journey. A must-watch episode for every Blue Demon fan.
