Watch: Mississippi State recruit hits buzzer beater, bolts from gym
D'Marcus Simonds, a Class of 2016 recruit who has committed to Mississippi State, recently had one of those moments that all young athletes dream about.

And for anyone who thinks Simonds' run kept him from shaking hands with the opponent, he set the record straight on Twitter after the game:
