Just watched some highlights... Seems like a willing passer on the AAU circuit, but plays the post in his HS season?
I couldn't get a feel for his speed or vision.
Does seem like a capable shooter.

Great night for Hoya fans. Maybe injects some energy into the program - including this year's squad?!

Monroe, I think. Copeland was a 5 star by some services, but lower ranked. Copeland was 4 star Depends on the ranking site, but generally Copeland was considered a 5 star recruit. ESPN 5 star #16 Rivals 5 star #23 247 Composite 5 star #24 247 4 star #29

The fact that he is a five star guard is huge. We have Wahab and Timmy. Dante and Berger need to be in the gym 24/7 shooting 3 pointers. Man do we need his rebounding prowess!

the biggest/highest ranked recruit since ... ? Monroe, I think. Copeland was a 5 star by some services, but lower ranked. Copeland was listed as a 5* kid by ESPN and Rivals, not sure about 247sports... Definitely an understatement to say pulling Aminu is a big get for the program ...

"They play NBA stuff," Mohammed said. "They play with the pick and roll, transition and speaking with the coach, he's talking about trying to get it on defense and he's trying to run out on offense in transition. That's my style — fast and transition. I liked that." And then there's Ewing — the 11-time All-Star and Basketball Hall of Famer who attended Georgetown and has been the head coach there since 2017. Not only did Mohammed commit to Georgetown, but he made a commitment to the legendary former New York Knick as well. Knowing Ewing is going to be the one pushing him to be the best basketball player sweetened the deal. "He played in the NBA and that's really going to help," Mohammed said. "And it's going to help push you and he's going to be a tough coach. He's going to be a 'tell you the truth' kind of coach. I felt like if he's going to push me like that, then he's going to push me to my final destination." www.news-leader.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/12/21/missouri-basketball-aminu-mohammed-why-georgetown-not-georgia-greenwood-springfield/3992982001/

Shout out and big congrats to Aminu's guardian, Shawn Harmon, for providing the kind of guidance and leadership required to produce the kind and quality of student-athlete that Aminu has become...a big welcome to the Hoya family to Shawn (and his wife) as well...

I just now am allowing myself to watch clips of aminu. I couldn’t risk getting my hopes dashed again. The staff new they had a good chance but up until just 30 minutes before were still unsure. So glad for the entire Hoya family on this one.

Great recruit! I think we also have to thank Ryan, thinking he was telling Aminu to come with him.
