JUCO Star Bashir Ahmed Visits Oklahoma State, Recruitment Remains Open

Junior college star Bashir Ahmed remains open in his recruitment and recently took a visit to Oklahoma State.

“I took an unofficial visit to Oklahoma State last week,” he told SNY.tv. “I enjoyed it, it was great.”

The 6-foot-7, 205-pound combo guard from The Bronx is also being recruited by Texas and Texas A&M, he said, and has no timetable on a college decision.

Ahmed has already visited St. John’s and Cincinnati, who were considered the leaders for his services. He stopped considering Rutgers and Louisville is no longer involved.

Spurs Forward Kyle Anderson Slowly But Surely Finding His Way in the NBA

By MOKE HAMILTON

NEW YORK — After you’ve enjoyed an undefeated high school basketball season and averaged 14.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists at UCLA, you might think that you have it all figured out.

But now in his second season as a member of the San Antonio Spurs, former St. Anthony’s and Paterson Catholic star Kyle Anderson knows better.

“Everything surprised me,” the 6-foot-9 Fairview, N.J., native told SNY.tv before he went scoreless as the visiting Spurs beat the Knicks, 94-84, Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

“You kinda think you have a feel from what’s going on because you’re in high school and you know a few NBA players and they tell you what it’s like, but I’ve come to know, in my second year, that what you think you know… It’s not that.”

The Spurs recently exercised the third-year option for Anderson for the 2016-17 season. After doubts about how his more methodical style of play would fit in the NBA, Anderson has earned a spot in the Spurs’ 10-man rotation. He is averaging less than 1 point with 1 rebound in about 8 minutes per game through four contests for the Spurs.
