Growing up in the Bronx, he would head downtown Madison Square Garden and watch the Red Storm. Partly because he wanted to watch the game, but also because he wanted his hometown team to recruit him.
When it didn’t happen, Ahmed chose to attend Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, where he would grow into the second ranked player in junior college before eventually committing to his hometown team.
“It means so much to play in front of my friends and family here,” Ahmed said before Saturday’s dominating win over Sacred Heart.
