Washington State is the latest school to show interest in Baytown (TX) Lee College PF Ahmed Mohamed, according to a Twitter report from Brad Winton of JucoRecruiting.com. The 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward is from Alexandria, Egypt.
Mohamed played his senior year of high school at Sugar Land (TX) Trent Internationale School before signing with Houston as a member of the 2013 class and redshirted last year. He then transferred to Lee College this season.
As a redshirt freshman, Mohamed is averaging 16.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. You can check out his current statistics at this link. Mohamed holds an offer from Tulsa and is also hearing from Arkansas, Wichita State, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
The Cougars recently signed four prospects in the 2014 class, including two JUCO players - Derrien King and Renard Suggs - in addition to high school prospects Robert Franks and Jeff Pollard.
Ernie Kent says Pollard, a forward out of Bountiful (UT), will likely go the prep school route and arrive in Pullman for the 2016-17 season. Franks has put together a big year at Vancouver (Wash.) Evergreen, though there have been rumors that grades could be an issue.
It's clear, though, that the staff believes they will have room for one more player in this class, preferably a big man to pair with Valentine Izundu (also a former Houston transfer) in the front court next season. I'm hoping to have more on Mohamed in the coming days.
