The basics
MaxPreps said Simko is a Czechia native who transferred to Columbus in Miami for his junior season and is listed as a junior in the class of 2028. MaxPreps listed him on the Columbus varsity basketball roster as a forward and center wearing No. 0. MaxPreps said he started alongside Martin Sibal and returning 7-foot-1 center Akol Nyok in the Slam GRFX bracket at Section 7. Listed as a C at Miami Columbus, and he appears on the Florida board. Status: uncommitted.

The look
MaxPreps said Simko is a Czechia native who transferred to Columbus in Miami for his junior season and is listed as a junior in the class of 2028. MaxPreps said the Czechia native is a 7-foot forward who transferred to Columbus for his junior season. 247Sports ranks Simko No. 48 in the class of 2028.
He remains uncommitted. The desk already filed the 2028 class built on centers on this gym. The Miami Columbus card on Simko is the published 2028 card at Miami Columbus. I would keep No. 92 until a new board night moves it.
What to watch
How does a 7-foot junior share minutes with Sibal and Nyok on the five-time Florida champion MaxPreps described? Can a published Columbus season average appear after the Section 7 start MaxPreps reported?
