Bali Hoosier 3 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm thinking it might be Kansas State. They have a scholarship available and the family could remain llivng where they are now located. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And he lived with his guardian on the east coast (DC area, I think?) before moving to Missouri to be close to the brother. So any geographic ties would favor Georgetown, but I really don't think that will be a major factor which is why he's also strongly considering IU and Georgia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but this is one 5* who simply doesn't excite me. He's got OAD on his brain and he's a 6'3" - 6'4" wing. I just don't think we need another wing. JMHO. We need a solid big transfer in the 6'8" range or bigger. We need frontline help next year unless one of our big guys stays an extra year.

Kristian, Rob, Aminu, Hunter/Race, and a stud big man out of transfer portal with a solid bench of Hunter/Race, Geronimo, Galloway, Duncomb, Armaan, Leal is a sweet 16+ contender in my opinion. It also lets the current freshmen develop a bit more and fight for their minutes. Aminu can play the 2 or 3 which is what Al will be doing this season. It's a no brainer in my opinion to take him with his potential 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnet550 275 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I still laugh at the guys saying Aminu doesn’t excite him because of this or that...he is a 5 star prospect that is ranked top 15 in his class....that means by all accounts he’s pretty darn good. I for one want him here.. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he comes in and tries to help his NBA stock over team success and not be a great teammate then that would scare me. He seems like a good kid and actually saw a couple of interviews with him from last year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
