4-star SF Sir Mohammed sets 3 official visits

Sir Mohammed, a four-star small forward in the class of 2024, has set the following three official visits: Marquette on June 5-7, Notre Dame on June 18-19, and Virginia Tech on July 28-30.

The 6-foot-6 junior out of Charlotte (N.C.) Myers Park is the No. 88 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Ranking.

Mohammed recently discussed the Golden Eagles, the Fighting Irish, and Hokies in a recent interview with On3.

Mohammed talks Marquette, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, and others involved

Marquette: “Their staff has been great to me so far. You know, they’ve been here watching me, and they came in on an in-home visit, and I really just connected with their coaches. You saw their success this year, so I trust what they’re doing there.”

Notre Dame: “My relationship with Coach (Micah) Shrewsberry has been great the whole time, even throughout the switch. I love the staff there. He sees me as a lead guard who can do a lot on the floor. He sees me doing a lot of the same things I do with Team Curry.”

Virginia Tech: “For me, Virginia Tech has been on me since I was a pup. They started talking to us in the fall of my sophomore year. They’ve made me feel like family. And they trust me as a lead guard. A lot of schools don’t think I’m a lead guard. I appreciate them for that.”

Mohammed has previously taken official visits to Penn State (old staff) and Stanford.

Stanford: “Their guys there are really cool. The coaching staff at Stanford is amazing. They’ve been on me really hard. I really enjoyed my time there.”

Villanova is also involved with the four-star junior.

Villanova: “My relationship with Kyle Neptune is amazing. At the same time, it is a program like Villanova, so how can you not be interested in playing there? They are such a prestigious program that just wins basketball games.”

Mohammed knows what he’s looking for in a program

“Development is going to be important to me,” Mohammed said. “But honestly, the relationships will play the biggest part for me. Playing for a coach who cares about me and cares about my family and sees me as a really good basketball player who can come in and help day one.

“I want to play for a coach who knows my game as well as I know my game. A coach who sees me as being a guy who can help them win day one and a national championship. I want to play for a coach who really cares for me.”

Scouting Report

“Sir Mohammed has good length with a projectable frame. The most interesting part of the 6-foot-6 forwards game is his passing. Mohammed has excellent court vision, with great tough on his on-target and on-time deliveries. While he is an average athlete, which may create questions on who he guards, he is a smart team defender who understands angles. He has a consistent release on his jump shot, but it has a tendency to flatten out and is inconsistent. He can attack closeouts in straight lines and is a good area rebounder. Mohammed’s dad, Nazr Mohammed, played in the NBA for 18 years.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
