IONA86

He is a natural 4. He can spread the D with his jumper but he is most comfortable in the paint. He is more athletic than he looks and has a junkyard dog mentality. He is strong and physical. There is some game video on Youtube of his time playing for JFK in high school. He is just a scrappy kid who does a lot of the little things you need to win. His brother, who is a verbal commit to Iona, is flashier and more of a SG/SF.

NYC public schools have players switching teams like you change your shirt. Sneaky deals to attract the best players to certain powerhouse high school programs is common. JFK is by no means a powerhouse and they play a lighter schedule compared to Christ the King, St. Raymond's, Lincoln etc... With that said the Ahmed brothers did put JFK on the map and the Ahmeds outplayed many higher ranked players in AAU ball as well as at famous NYC summer leagues such as Rucker or Dyckman. Mohammed will thrill the crowd with some great put back dunks but he is more often the guy who shocks you in the stats category. You will think he played a decent game until you look at the stats and see he scored 16 points, had 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals and held his opponent to 6 points while setting picks to free up your guards all game long. He was also a very good leader on his high school team.
