Bashir Ahmed - SF - JFK - Bronx, NY - ST. JOHN'S

They quoted him in one article saying he planned to announce in December and now he says January or December so I don't think this really means anything. Hope we get this kid, we need some wings who can provide some scoring punch for us next year.

Be confident

#sjubb target, JUCO G Bashir Ahmed, to visit Texas Dec. 12, per @JucoRecruiting. Plans to see a few SJU games when he comes home in 2 weeks

Also notes, SJU is still the favorite.

Visiting Texas!?!?!!?

I guess he heard we need a wide body

Nah, he just saw last night's game.

Can't blame these kids for weighing their options.

Careers hinge on it.

I sure as hell would be concerned if my squad lost to Fordham.

SMH, lived across the street from Fordham... Pains me to take the L from them.

To me there is basically two schools of thought by Ahmed and any other 2016 recruits. They either see the poor performances and loses and say hmm is this really where I want go? Or they say hey these guys could really use my skill set and I can contribute right away but also develop under a hall of fame player and great staff. I hope these kids and their guardians see things the second way because if not they are going to miss out when we turn this around have a special team in a year or two.

He wants to play and that is really all there is to it.  He'll be at SJU.

JUCO wing Bashir Ahmed is expected at St. John's game Dec. 18 and Dec. 20, source tells @SNYtv

Xmas present?

maybe he'll get to see his future point guard play also

From Texas Rivals site, not visiting for today's game but visiting Monday:

The Skinny - A sophomore for the No. 1 NCJAA team in the country, Ahmed was a very lightly recruited wing out of the Bronx, New York in 2014. Since he arrived at Hutchinson Community College, Ahmed has emerged into one of the more coveted JUCO prospects in the country.

Recently in mid-November, SNY.tv and JUCOrecruiting.com reported that Ahmed is listing Cincinnati, St. John's, Oklahoma State, Texas, Oregon, and Texas A&M. Hutchinson C.C. head coach Steve Eck said earlier this week that Ahmed has "narrowed it down to 10-15 [teams]," but didn't specify which, and described his wing as being "wide open." However, most believe, right now, that hometown St. John's is the team to beat. According to reports, Ahmed has visited St. John's and Cincinnati officially.

Look for Ahmed to likely make a decision this month. He'll arrive at Texas Monday to begin his visit, per a source.

Well that can't be bad...

Any chance we can secure a verbal this weekend?

Bashir Ahmed is here also. Told me still planning to decide "soon," but no idea when. #sjubb

I just hope the game yesterday didn't scare off Bashir Ahmed from commiting

if nothing else he has to believe he will get playing time
