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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Doesn’t he want to enroll early, if so, I feel pretty good, since GT and UGA have no open scholarships if I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a player transfers mid season I heard you can't use that scholarship until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnet550 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I need Muhammad to pick IU so I could look a little smart on predicting where players will go. 2 months ago my predictions were Muhammad to IU, Miller to Creighton and TK to UVA which I got half right. 6 months ago I thought we would get TK and Muhammad.
