As basketballs bounced in Greenwood Laboratory School’s gym, the team’s best player quietly entered through a back entrance and slowly got ready for practice.
It only took a handful of shots to see why sophomore Aminu Mohammed is a five-star recruit. The 6-foot-5 guard made long threes with ease and jumped effortlessly to dunk, leading observers to wonder how high he could get if he was putting in his whole effort.
Rated one of the top sophomores in the country, Mohammed has been a revelation at this Springfield school since transferring from Archbishop Carroll in Maryland last summer.
