(2021) SF - Aminu Mohammed to Georgetown

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Another "nailbiter" for Greenwood with a 71 - 35 win over Weaubleau.  The only stat I've seen for Aminu is 16 pts. and a tweet from Shawn Harmon that he barely played 2 quarters.

 

Saturday, Greenwood has a game with Park Hill scheduled to start at 2:00 ET.  Reportedly will be streamed at:

Confirmed he will announce on the 21st at 6:00 ET.  I'll admit I've stopped holding my breath on this one.

Today's scheduled game with Park Hill has been postponed.

Kinda strange that a 5* is committing tomorrow and there’s only one crystal ball, and it’s by a reporter for a team that’s not in the mix.

I assume not Indiana too.

If Shawn Harmon has been watching, the success of Armaan Franklin cannot help our chances.

I’m quite certain this was decided long before Armaan Franklin started shooting like he was a three point assassin. Also, pretty sure it has nothing to do with competition he might or might not have at the spot.

Yes. We will never know the real reasons. We might have had a chance if Bob Knight was still coach and he allowed bagmen to take care of his players.

Eight hours left and STILL no predictions. While it's easier to keep rumors in check when the player is from out of country, Shawn Harmon and Aminu have done a "Zeller-like" fantastic job of keeping a lid on the choice.

Do we even have a chance

To be fair there is a 5* committing today with IU right there at the end and Peegs hasn’t posted about it on Twitter.

I'm assuming that Crean will give this young man the "Noah Vonleh/Anthony Edwards" treatment, and we will not.

So, while I suppose there's a chance, I am not optimistic. We have Franklin, Galloway, and Stewart to man the 2/3 for the next few years, so we are not going to suffer too much from this no-get if the likely scenario plays out.

We've missed on so many of our intended targets lately, I'm not surprised IU insiders aren't jumping into this one.

What is this treatment? Does this just mean giving him free rein and letting him be the star of the program, or is there an implication of dirty recruiting?

An implication?

Sure.

 

[Bobman1]

This is all very strange... guess I’m hoping he chooses IU obviously but there is an impressive, air-tight lid on this recruitment and can’t say I’m too optimistic.

I look at it as Crean being Crean, and simply having a personality that these types of kids are drawn to. The best way to get 5 star recruits is to run around the country with the energy and relentlessness of a weasel in heat on meth. These kids love it when coaches "show them love" and always talk about how "blessed" they are to receive an offer. I'm not sure why so many recruits want coaches to "show them love"; perhaps they lack father figures in their lives, and Crean has found a niche in filling that void with some of them? Anyway, I'm convinced that Crean gets players like Vonleh, Edwards, and soon to be Aminu, not from his coaching or NBA track record, but purely from sheer, maniacal effort.

maybe crean told him that he had been thinking about him a lot...that might have sealed it
