just what the doctor ordered for next year...................
"Joining Team USA is 6'5 standout talent Ahmed Hill from St. Thomas Aquinas in Georgia. Hill should help bolster Team USA's roster with his high basketball IQ and his innate feel and ability to make others better around him with his passing skills as a 2 guard. For the next 4 seasons Ahmed will be taking his talents to Marquette University where he will definitely help Buzz Williams and the Golden Eagles bounce back to the top of the Big East"
Nice. thanks for finding.
Wait... Hill is on team USA? Awesome if true. Where did you find that?
I do not see any college on the roster for FIBA World Cup 2014 nor Olympics 2016. Maybe he was on a finalist list in Febbruary or maybe a under 16 international. Hope I am wrong though. Would love to see him on a team with James and Durant.

Jajuan Johnson made the all-showcase team last year:

Seems like UK might have been contacting Hill just recently based on one of his tweets. Ahmed said it was too late. Also wanted to share this video from last fall. Good interview. I'm sure it's been shared, but I've never seen it. Figured some others might have missed it too.
Mentions he's 100% committed and "hopefully won't be here too long" because he has his eyes on "bigger achievements." Think he might be the real deal since we had Vander.

Such a typical UK move...
Fans love to assume the worst......his tweet about UK was while he was watching the end of the UK Florida game today.......UK waited to long to get into their offense on the last possession......it had nothing to do with recruiting........ ::)
Ahmed Hill @MedHill_14 2h

Ha, didn't even think of it. You're right, assumed it. But I guess not that unbelievable regardless.

It probably is considering he has signed a LOI.
