One of the best things about Madness - the hangover is usually pretty nice.

SCOUTING REPORT ON AHMED HILL
by Eric Bossi - 09/25/2013
A scorer from Georgia, his ranking took a dip after a bit of an off summer. He is a two guard with pretty good size, pretty good athleticism and the ability to knock down shots. A bit passive at times and will rise back to form as he learns to put more pressure on defenders with the dribble.

[NersEllenson]

Awesome!!  Welcome to the family Ahmed Hill.  Great choice.

[brewcity77]

Excellent news, and breaks our streak of commitment-less Madnesses. Excellent get and gives us another legitimate scorer going forward. Really big get.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Another great back to back class with three top 100 kids in tow now.  Wow!  

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Yesssssssss!!!

Next Step: Charles Matthews and Diamond Stone

If we somehow manage to get both of them along with Noskowiak that by far overshadows the 2013 class and would be Buzz's (and I'm sure Marquette's) best class.

[Wally Schroeder]

Brilliant!  

When this class gets on campus & is ready to play distributing only 200 minutes is going to be an issue. Perhaps 40 minuts of hell with lots of substitutions.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Add a commitment from Tory Miller and I will be a very happy fan.

[Aughnanure]

Cohen, Harris, and Hill is a great class any year.

Tweet from Hill himself:

"Thanks to all the fans and coaches that have supported me through this process. It's been a great run, but I have committed to Marquette!!"

[Silkk the Shaka]

So awesome. Buzz & staff continue to amaze on the recruiting trail. The ceiling on this program gets raised almost daily. Really fun watching it all play out.

That would most likely be a 2 McD's AA class. Not only would it be MU's likely best ever class, it'd certainly be one of the country's best classes. Top-5 for sure.

Welcome to MU

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Wasn't Hill within the past year ranked in the top 25?

Can anyone confirm Matthews was at madness?

[brewcity77]

Wasn't Hill within the past year ranked in the top 25?

Yes. He had a rough AAU summer circuit and saw his stock and rankings drop. Despite that, Buzz stuck with him when the big boys backed off. Probably a big key in Marquette landing Hill.

[We R Final Four]

Wow--what a fantastic get for MU!

Jajaunnaman nailed it--and what an unbelievable job for a f***ing junior college guy at a small private Catholic school in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Way to go Buzz!!

Welcome Ahmed!

I remember seeing a tweet saying that he was spotted behind the autograph table with Stone

Thanks.  I noticed now that Matthews is visiting again in November to watch the Ohio State game.  Maybe him and Diamond can get together to watch that!
