if i were tasked with building the perfect 2-guard, i'd start with muhammad as my template and go from there.Man, he is going to be so beloved by buckeye fans...
When Ohio State’s second session of the summer term gets underway on June 19, four freshmen on the men’s basketball team will arrive on campus to begin their collegiate careers. The four, who all committed during a six-day period in mid-September last year, represent the first full recruiting class in coach Chris Holtmann’s time with the Buckeyes.
Before Justin Ahrens, Jaedon LeDee, Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr. all arrive on campus, The Dispatch caught up with each of them to review their senior seasons, their reasons behind picking Ohio State and their hopes to contribute as freshmen.
A four-day series continues today with Muhammad.
“He shut him down,” Hudson Catholic coach Nick Mariniello told The Dispatch. “Every tough game, every big game we played, he always got their best player regardless of if he was a point guard, a 2 guard, a 3. I’m realistic with my evaluations, and I think by the time Luther is done at Ohio State I think he’s going to be one of the best if not the best two-way players in the country.”
The challenge of helping his team win by taking the opponent’s best player out of the game is one Muhammad said he embraced from a young age.
“It was definitely a big game, being that we played on ESPN, but I looked at it as another game, another nice player we’ve got to play against and I’m basically coming to show everyone I’m better,” he said. “That’s my mind-set matching up against top guys and best players. That’s just me wanting to show everyone that I’m better than that person.”
Quickley is the No. 4 point guard prospect and No. 20 overall recruit in the nation.
lots to chew on in that article. while high school coaches are understandably pollyannas when talking about their players, i'm going to give muhammad's coach the benefit of some impartiality since his team also had a couple 5-stars and since his team faced some top competition. kid's going to be special.
