Hoops Recruiting - Interesting Move

There is an interesting trend in high school hoops - transfers. Here's an article about it, and how top GT recruit Gani Lawal is one of them. He joined Kentucky signee Jodie Meeks at Norcross High. Tonight comes word that Alade Aminu's brother, 6'8" 210lb monster sophomore Al-Farouq Aminu, has also transferred to Norcross.


What is the significance? Aside from the powerhouse team they have built, this could be an interesting recruiting assist for the Jackets. Remember, Jodie Meeks ended up in Kentucky, even though he had interest in the Jackets. Unfortunately for him, the numbers and needs just weren't there, even though he'll be a good college player. However, Gani Lawal, his new teammate, has narrowed down his list to 5 schools, which includes both Georgia Tech and Kentucky. Make no mistake - Jodie is trying to sway Gani to come to the bluegrass state. However, Al Farouq Aminu is likely to be a major YellowJacket target when the time comes for his college choice. So this Norcross team will be one to watch closely...............


Having said all that, the younger Aminu has now transferred multiple times, and the Aminu family actually sold their house and moved to a new one just so he could go to Norcross. Interesting for sure..............
