I watched him the state games this year.  He would fit perfect in Wojo's system.  Quick, accurate shot and has decent athleticism.  He'll need to bulk up, but he can already shoot better than anyone we have on the team.

Man, I honestly said if we lose Hill and Land him.... I wouldnt be tooooo sad, id like to get both but this kid has an upside... Is 6'5 and can Dunk really well.... Him out there with Mayo, Deonte, Dawson, Duane and JJJ. I'd pay to see that.

He has that Michael Carter-Williams mold. Except with a better looking shot.

[JakeBarnes]

I watched his mixtape. He looks good.

I also watched Du will jr again. Holy crap does he accelerate. I am giddy thikning about him on the floor next year.

What exactly is Wojo's system?

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

There's a HoJo in downtown Milwaukee.  Owned by Wyndham.

The great old HoJos at the oases in IL are sadly gone.

Cue the NRBQ classic, Howard Johnson got his Hojo Workin'.

I'm also thinking about Blazing Saddles where everyone in town had the last name Johnson and Higgin's from Magnum PI was Howard Johnson who ran the ice cream shop with the slogan "One flavor srved since....."

I like that lineup. What it lacks in size, it makes up in having a 6th player on the floor.

Well, that's only fair. After all, MU played 4 on 5 this season.

Only kidding.

In my opinion Hill and Cohen aren't even in the same stratosphere. I would take Hill every single time. I would rather lose Cohen, Shayok, Pierce and keep Hill. I know that's an odd comparison, but that's how highly I regard Hill. Cohen plays for Seymour and plays a very low level of competition. He could in theory keep ascending into a very good player, but I think Hill is by far more polished and likely to be a much better player. Hoping we can keep both!

LOL.  Good catch

How often were you able to watch Ahmed Hill play? Strengths? Weaknesses? Play well with teammates? Looks to share the load or take it all on his own? Interaction with coach was positive? Any talented teammates?

I have seen him play a handful of times, as I have seen Cohen as well. Ahmed Hill has a very good feel for the game, as does Cohen. The game seems to come more naturally to Hill in my opinion. He is a elite scorer and also sees the floor very well. I think besides shooting guard, he could also run the point if needed. He has the ability to take over games and be a true "game changer." He also seems fairly engaged playing D...at least for the high school level. I know you are being sarcastic, that's why I said my opinions. I also think Cohen is a good player, but see him more in the complimentary role. His level of weak competition makes him stand out more than he would if he played in a bigger basketball hotbed. We were fortunate to get commits from both guys, but to me Hill is far more valuable to keep on board going forward.

So right now it looks like we may keep Cohen, but lose Hill. It also appears that Shayok is lost, and assuming Pierce is also lost, does that leave us with two schollies left for next year? hard to keep up with these things?

I think we have 4 open without incoming recruits?

Duane Wilson
JJJ
Deonte
Derrick
Luke
Juan
Dawson
Taylor
Mayo

Don't forget Fischer plus I think the poster was assuming Cohen is still matriculating... which leaves 2 open.

For everybody who is in love with Cohen remember this is a mix tape.  And as a reminder here is a mix tape of another current MU player who a majority of you want run out of town.  Cohen will be a nice piece to have but in no way is he a difference maker.  His current comparable on the MU team is Juan.  He is really athletic and tries to finish everything with a dunk, including in traffic.  Has very long arm and good size which means he has the capability to be a great defender in college.  He is a little slow on the dribble to be able to create his own shot at the high D1 level and his release is a bit slow.  Comparing the two high school mix tapes I would say Juan is actually the better player among the two.  Of course he is an instate recruit that probably adds some more importance to keep the best talent in WI coming to MU.  I guess my point is, I have to agree that Hill is by far the only recruit from this class that I would be disappointed in him not coming.

I didn't, I have him down as Luke. So I come up with 4 open, 3 if Cohen still comes. I think this is correct?

[LAMUfan]

Luke is Fischer

[willie warrior]

Thanks. And the kid from Illinois (Harris, I believe) never signed.
Yeah, it would be great to keep all the signed recruits, which is looking unlikely. Pierce was not highly rated, maybe 2.5 stars, but for depth purposes and that he is 7' would be nice to have.

IMO, since Harris did not play this year, and never signed, we should pass on him. It would seem to me that it would be both in MU's and the others kids interest to determine whether they are coming to MU or are going to take their talents elsewhere. Give them several days to make up their mind and then release the ones who have not re-committed.

Sorry... yep, that's three with Cohen.

[LAMUfan]

pretty sure Harris already said he was going to VT
