Rose Hill’s Kellan Simoneau

Kellan Simoneau of Rose Hill was chosen for the Supplement World Profile for September. Simoneau was a first team all-league and honorable mention all-state guard for the Rockets’ basketball team last year.

He led the Rose Hill in scoring and three-point shooting last season and is the lone returning starter for the upcoming season.

“It means a lot for Supplement World to pick me for this honor,” Simoneau said. “Jeff got my number and texted me about them choosing me for player of the month.”

Now a senior, Simoneau has been focusing on his game, while also taking numerous recruiting trips as the time draws closer for him to pick a school to play at next year.

“I have been working in the gym constantly getting ready for this year,” Simoneau said. “I have really been embracing the recruiting process and taking as much out of it as I can. I have around ten college programs actively recruiting me and it is truly a blessing that I cannot take for granted.”

The balance between preparing for the upcoming season, the recruiting process and school has not been a problem for Simoneau thus far.

“My love for basketball makes it pretty easy balancing my preparation for this season with my recruiting process,” Simoneau said.
