Georgetown men's basketball lands Aminu Mohammed, first 5-star recruit since 2014

Five-star guard Aminu Mohammed announced his commitment to Georgetown on Monday, giving the Hoyas their first five-star recruit since 2014.

Mohammed also becomes the first five-star pledge for Patrick Ewing, who took over as Georgetown head coach in 2017.

Mohammed chose the Hoyas over Georgia, Indiana, Kansas State, Texas, SMU and DePaul. He took unofficial visits to Kansas State, Louisville and Indiana prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Multiple schools attempted to jump in late in the process, but down the stretch, Georgetown and Georgia had the most momentum.

A 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Washington D.C. who transferred to Greenwood Laboratory School (Missouri) earlier in his high school career, Mohammed is ranked No.
