Aquinas' Ahmed Hill finishes career with 3,000 points, individual honors

By Wayne Staats
Staff Writer

The quiet ninth grader sitting alone at the front of the bus still prefers to let his basketball play speak for him as a senior.

Ahmed Hill, admittedly shy when younger, has always felt at home on the court. With more than 3,000 career high school points, it's easy to see why The Augusta Chronicle's All-Area Georgia Boys Basketball Player of the Year felt at ease.

But the Aquinas star has opened up more since he arrived at the school prior to his sophomore year. After attending Peach County for a year, Hill moved to Aquinas, where his grades improved and he steadily got better at the game he loved.

Usually comfortable talking with only his mother and brother, Hill found comfort with the Aquinas community.

"Aquinas has been a new family," Hill said. "They taught me how to open up to people more and make new friends."

The school also taught him how to study, prepare for class and manage time – all necessary gains as major college programs offered scholarships.

With the basketball in his hands, Hill took the Irish to the Class A private state quarterfinals despite a relatively new supporting cast around him. He was willing to handle point guard duties, if needed, or score inside.

A younger Hill honed his skills at South Peach Park in Fort Valley, Ga., often playing against older people – like his brother, Braxton.

So when Hill reached high school and transferred to Aquinas, he was ready to star. This season, Hill was the Georgia Sports Writers Association's Class A Player of the Year.

"It's been great," Hill said. "I came up here and tried to become the best player to come through here. I just think I took my game to another level."

Hill will have to do so again next season, when Rivals.com's No. 69 recruit for the 2014 class begins his college career.

The Aquinas star signed with Marquette in November, though Golden Eagles coach Buzz Williams has since moved to Virginia Tech. Hill can either choose to stay a future Golden Eagle, or he could ask for a release.

Regardless of what happens, Irish coach Bernie Norris is ready to see Hill at the next level.

"He's the kind of individual that's going to give you that much more every day. He's the guy that's always going to want to walk off the floor last," Norris said. "He shouldn't have a problem making a transition. He's going to learn a lot of things and he'll soak it up like a sponge."

A tweet after midnight on a Saturday night saying "Think I should just call it quits!!" Is about his MU decision and not about being tired and bored about the party he is at?

[Groin_pull]

A bunch of old guys trying to decode a teen's tweets?

A little embarrassing.

[GB Warrior]

Relief. Read the title, thought Mizzou fans on one side, Marquette fans on the other, both pulling hard....

Maybe we should offer him up. I heard that worked in the Bible.

Learn to recognize a joke man.

[77ncaachamps]

I hope he reflects on his HS accomplishments, thinks about his future, and makes the best decision he can make.

*cough* MU *cough*

The donuts are awesome, but they'll always be Sil's to me.

That's fair.  Just glad that chubbys didn't try to fix something that wasn't broken with the recipe

It occurs to me that perhaps we are all looking at the Coach Phelps/Hill connection.   People have mentioned that coach Phelps has a prior relationship with Ahmed.     But he failed!    CoWojo hired a guy who Ahmed rejected.     So, I hope Ahmed comes to MU.    MU could certainly use him.   But I am not sure Phelps is the clincher.

Exactly. We should have hired a guy that has no relationship with Hill. Then no failure to worry about.

Doesn't that put Phelps in the same camp as approximately 330 other coaches in Division I basketball?

[keefe]

well, now that the Master's is over maybe Wojo can fly down there and cinch this thing with Hill.

I don't know that Phelps failed. Did Hill even get an offer from Duke?

Phelps came over from Mizzou, Hill's other finalist.

I went brain dead for a minute there. I knew Phelps was from Missouri.

Screaming Trees – Dollar Bill Lyrics

Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert you
And that's all I seem to do

I got to tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do

[Tums Festival]

For what it's worth, Hill did re-tweet this image that was posted to his Twitter page.

[Blackhat]

Wojo's got to sell Hill.   He was trying to persuade Mayok, looks like we're not getting him.

Is the Dukie a closer?  Right now it's....
