Four-Star Ahmad Nowell talks recruitment, planning Tennessee visit

Ahmad Nowell, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound point guard out of Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep Institute, ranks as the No. 50 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus.

At the City of Palms Classic in Florida, Nowell discussed his game and gave an update on the recruitment process.

Nowell discusses his game and what he brings to a team

“I bring good character,” Nowell says. “I have a good IQ and a good shooting ability. I can handle the ball, get to the paint, and make plays. I think that’s probably the strong suits of my game.”

What does Nowell want to improve on?

“I want to improve my decision-making because everybody can improve in that,” he says. “I want my shooting to be more consistent. My offense intensity, just like being able to go and go after every play and still have energy left.”

Teams in contact

The recruitment process is just beginning for Nowell, but he says the following schools have been in contact: Villanova, Arkansas, Tennessee, Seton Hall, and a “couple of other schools.”

He has yet to take any college visits but says that might change soon.

“I possibly have a visit with Tennessee coming up in the next month or so,” Nowell says.

Other visits Nowell might also like to take include Arkansas and Auburn, but his recruitment is fully open.
