Clip gives you an idea that he's not just a dunker.

It just seems too easy for him.

This is from Aminu's Missouri guardian Shawn Harmon. 

His freshman year he attended Archbishop Carroll HS in Maryland.  He scored 552 pts. and grabbed 297 rebounds.  

Thus far for his 2 years in Missouri at Greenwood he's scored 2,022 pts. and grabbed 1,256 rebounds.  

I think I'm more impressed with his freshman stats than I am his Missouri stats.

Archbishop Carroll is in the same conference as DeMatha and Gonzaga, which have obviously produced an insane amount of talent, and Muhammad was 1st team all-conference as a freshman. Averaged something like 18 and 10.

We're in serious play with this young man. His guardian has been following IU since childhood and his visit earlier in the season was a bucket list type of deal. Posts alot of nice things about IU on twitter and has had positive responses about a few of mine also. Hope Aminu has a great OV and Shawn steers him this way!

Interesting information. After the game I saw that Bruiser went to a couple of months back he and Harmon were hanging out and absolutely looked like boys. I mean really laughing it up. So I’ve assumed all along that their relationship was where this jumped off. If he’s an IU fan and they have a great relationship as well so much the better. Have thought all along that this was pretty unlikely to come together. But starting to develop some guarded optimism.

Feeling good about this one. Seems we have a connection that may put us over the top.

Here's another report on Aminu's game stats.    

Greenwood won Class 2 District 11 nice work foe #24 Aminu Mohammed 37pts,17 boards, 3 blocks & 2 steals.

 

ADDED:  Game story.   Quote from losing coach.  “It was hard to counter what Aminu could do,” Smith said. “Whenever in doubt, when they needed a bucket, they went to him. I felt like we could guard all the others straight up, but we had a hard time trying to counter him."

Shawn Harmon also paying very close attention to Kentucky.

I think we have a shot here, but if Kentucky prioritizes him as option 1A it could go Kentucky’s way.

State quarterfinal game against Hartsville just about to start.  Uncertain if this link will be audio and video or just 1 of the 2.

Gotta think we only have a chance if Lander is the real deal and Trayce is planning on sticking around. Dude is going to want to play with a stud pg and center

Mohammed's season ended Saturday with a 49-47 loss to Hartville.  He finished with 22 or 24 pts. depending which number is correct in the game story.  He fouled out with 5.9 Sec. remaining in the game.

Game story:  http://www.ozarkssportszone.com/2020/03/07/hartville-downs-greenwood-in-49-47-thriller-to-advance-to-class-2-final-four/

From the stats I've found for him over his 30-game season, he averaged 34.7 ppg and 16 rpg.

Good video. Mohammed appears to be a willing passer, if this short clip is representative of his typical play.
