Where did you read that at? Ahmed is a freak athelete who averaged 7+ RPG last year. He is not a natural scorer, but is a better shooter. I've heard Chad and others say that Ahmed is who the staff hoped Shaq would have become...

I'm not saying Ahmed isn't athletic; I'm saying from what I've read/seen, he's not as athletic as Shaq. Shaq has hops as good as anyone in the country. I'm pretty sure his head can hit the rim. Not sure Ahmed can do that. If he could, you have to feel like he'd have been rated higher than a 2-star out of high school. I certainly understand the comparison; I'm just giving small differences. I think Ahmed has big-time potential.

Shaq is a freak athlete no question about that, but it seems like shaq has always been to fast for himself and can't play with in himself, if anything shaq can slow down a little bit. Ahmed looks extremely athletic as well he looks like a better ball handler than shaq, I don't think he is as tall as shaq but it's a good comparison
 
@AdamZagoria: "JUCO wing Bashir Ahmed tells me he no longer plans to visit Louisville. Has visited Cincinnati and St. John's."

Wonder if that has anything with the hooker allegations over the weekend, or if Louisville just stopped pursuing him.

@DTV89: "@ChadBrendel Ahmed down to UC/St Johns? Where do you guess he's leaning?"
@ChadBrendel: "Coin flip from everything I've heard. Tough kid to get a read on."
 
Any update on a decision time here? Seems like he would be making an announcement if he is not planning on additional visits.
 
I know St Johns was picked to finish dead last this year in the "Big East". Not sure why Bashir wants to go to that dumpster. UC all day, its a no brainer :)

From yesterday:

@ryanbetscher21: @ChadBrendel Ahmed cancelling his Louisville visit a good sign for UC?
@ChadBrendel: Will find out in a few weeks. If he pushes decision to spring not sure Mick will wait.
 
Yup, this is going to be a process.

@AdamZagoria
Hutchinson College wing Bashir Ahmed took an unofficial to Oklahoma State last week. Says Texas and Texas A&M also recruiting him.
 
If he is still taking visits at this point odds are low that he becomes a Bearcat. Recruiting is weird though. You never know.
 
If he is still considering St Johns, I hope he noticed SJU getting smoked by 32 points tonight by a Div II school in their exhibition game. Embarrassing

Ahmed plans on verbally committing to a school at some point in December and will then sign during the April signing period. We asked Bashir why he wants to commit in December, he said “I want to get a chance to watch these teams play and I think my decision will be easy for me to make.” Ahmed said he is looking for an up-tempo system at the next level that allows a good amount of freedom offensively where he can attack.


^^^Our style of play is extremely friendly to these big time recruits. I like our chances.

He also wants to play right away. We're pretty deep at the guard positions already next season. I'd give St. John's the edge here.

He would be a starter
Caupain
Evans
Ahmed

As of right now I see this being the starting 5. If he wanted to start he would have to beat out an underclassman for the job. Still sellable for Mick to pitch him I think. If he wants 30+ minutes a game then go to St. John's. If you want to be on a Final 4 caliber team for his 2 years here come play team ball and put the team first.

Caupain
Cumberland or KJ
Evans
Clark
Washington
