Great effort by the interviewer there. Way to hand the mic to the kids so we can hear their responses...

...At 6-foot-10 and 230 pounds, Wahab is a true center, a perfect complement to the 6-7 left-handed Dixon, who can both bully opponents in the post — something he did quite a bit to Wahab in their matchup Wednesday morning — and take them outside, with an ever-improving 3-point stroke.
But Wahab had plenty of his own moments, including some nifty footwork on a duck-under layup, followed just a couple possessions later by a 3-pointer of his own, from straightaway. Though it’s not yet what the defensive-minded post presence is known for, that increasing versatility is what’s needed if he’s going to play major minutes for a high-major program before long.
“[I’m working on] my face-up game, you know, getting more aggressive on offense, trying to score more, stuff like that,” he said. “My jump shot, too.”
Wahab’s got plenty of schools after his services; when asked who was coming at him hardest at the moment, he included Virginia Tech, VCU, Syracuse, South Carolina, Rhode Island and Pittsburgh off the top of his head, but added there were “a lot more,” including Louisville, which he visited last month. By the time Friday night ended, he’d added another high-major offer, from Miami (Fl.).
Also in the mix is Temple, which offered him last month after seeing him play with WeR1 at its team camp.
“They’re involved, a lot involved,” Wahab said. “They just texted me this morning and asked how my weekend was. They’re very involved.”
Wahab said he plans on cutting his list after July ends, making his official visits in the fall and making his decision “by November or December.” But he didn’t mention any schools that were definitely going to receive visits, or any particular leaders, though he did say what he was looking for in a college.
“The education part is the most important but the relationships, too,” he said. “I just want to go to a school where I can make my dreams come true.” -- Josh Verlin

This young man is attending school in the area...we should continue show him love. He looks like he is pretty good.

Agreed- regardless of who else we are pursuing, it would be great to get Wahab on board.

Guess that’s why we took the Nigerian C last week.

I want Qudus!...I've noticed in a couple of places that he's listed as a 6'11 Forward...although he's more Center, he may be able to play some big forward as well, and get time at both spots...I think Patrick could turn him into an NBA player...does anyone have a feel as to whether staying local is a pro or con to him...family in the area?
