Free article from Prep Hoops this morning: Recruiting Report: Qudus Wahab (2019) | Prep Hoops

Qudus Wahab, a class of 2019 post prospect from Flint Hill, has confirmed that he is set to announce his college decision on January 30. During a recent interview with Prep Hoops, he described his relationship with the respective schools that are still involved with his recruitment.

GEORGETOWN: “I just like the school, the location, the coaches. I think that they feed their bigs and make use of their big guys a lot. Academically and basketball-wise it’s good.”

PITTSBURGH: “They have some pretty good freshmen, but they told me they need me to fill a spot next season. I’ve watched a few of their games. They play pretty good defense. They’ve already got a couple of good wins in the ACC.”

SYRACUSE: “The Duke win was a big one for them. (Paschal) Chukwu is leaving, and they said they need me to come in and fill that spot. I’ve played zone before and I’m fine with it, but it’s all about the ability to keep learning. I know I can fit what they need.”

UCONN: “They said they’re trying to get me and Akok to play together in the front court next season. We were together during our official visit. I think he’s a really good player. He is a good shot blocker, he plays good defense, and he can shoot threes a little bit.”

VIRGINIA TECH: “Coach Webster and Coach Buzz have been following me for a long time. They’re losing four seniors and they said they need me to come in and fit a need right away.”
 
Have a hunch and I'll voice it. I'm basing it on what I've read, conference stuff, and the states of the five programs listed, the levels that they are playing at this year, etc. Do not have specific information about the rosters of these schools and how they are stacked or not stacked at the center position. Like I said, just a hunch, for risk taking sake.

From the looks of these answers it's starting to sound like Georgetown is the frontrunner.

I'm staying positive, we still have a good chance.

I'd be shocked if he came here. Too much ground to cover, to little time. This ship sailed when we prioritized Kofi. Seems to me the staff is already invested elsewhere.

If we miraculously land Precious we won't necessarily need a true rim-protecting C who grabs 8+ boards a game.

A rotating front-court lineup that includes Josh, Sid, a healthy Diarra, Precious, & Akok I'm fine with...
 
From only his comments UConn is mostly about Akok, and doesn't mention anything about coaching staff or university. While Georgetown does sound like alot of positivity - so that would be my guess too.
 
Not coming here. His comments about UCONN were only about Akok, not the school, conference, program, defense, playing time, etc., like all of his other comments.

Have we visited Wahab at all recently?

Possibly but this was a tough one. A lot of ground to make up. I'd assume we did though.. if there's anything I know won't happen with this group of coaches - it's that they might get beat, but they're not gonna get outworked. So I assume they've been on him.
 
Georgetown or Tech, would be pleasantly shocked to see him commit to the good guys.
 
I am not yet buying Carlton at all despite a couple nice games and a really good one against really bad Tulane. If we come up empty on Wahab, a very high quality grad transfer or JC big and/or Precious then I'd say a red herring slipped through the dam.

That is not the case yet so I trust Hurley and co. will close on a meaningful big for '19 - '20. Precious would be gravy. I can't see next year being a big success if we go into it with the 3 recruits and the remnants of this mess; sans Gilbert and maybe Wilson. In reality this is a multi year rebuild anyway so xanax as necessary.
 
Looking like a VT or Georgetown. Hopefully we can land Precious but if not I think Mitchell would be a nice pickup

You guys are reading way too much into those blurbs.

Try describing 5 things yourself while intentionally trying not to give away which you like more. You just start saying anything that makes them distinct.

Doesn't mean he is coming here, but that has 0 indication.
 
I’ll take 2 Josh Boone’s right now or even one. He really evolved and improved thru his career. We desperately need that type of player.
 
Didn’t someone here post that Wahab is playing tonight?
If so, Hurley has to be there. If he doesn’t show, then NEXT.
 
I was able to get to tonight’s game. My unofficial head tracking stats had him at 22 and 9 with a couple of swats. After picking up his second foul with a couple of minutes left in the first quarter the coach sat him (JC style) for the rest of the half. Competition wasn’t as good as when I saw him last weekend. Not much new to report on his play. Needs to use his butt more on offense to seal of his defender.
Unless I missed them there was no sign of any of our staff or any other schools staff which surprised me.
