Expert Analysis
Brian Flinn | Prep Hoops Scout
Princeton has one of the best recruits to ever hit campus coming in Abdullahi. A springy 6-foot-6 wing who plays extremely hard, slashes well, and defends at a high level, he’s the type of mismatch at combo forward that will give Ivy League defenses fits.

, A 6-7 small forward helped lead Columbus to back-to-back state titles as a sophomore and junior. Abdullahi is long, athletic and bouncy around the rim as well as on the defensive end of the floor. He has strong tendencies to go get rebounds as well as play multiple positions on the offensive end as well. He is also one of the top elite shot blockers on the defensive end as well using his length to force the opposition into taking tough shots.

The 6-8 combo forward brought high energy on display where he can be super productive on both ends of the floor. He has continued to improve his confidence by stretching the floor and knocking down the perimeter shots at a high rate. He also has improved his quickness and can get to the rim on the attack and finish efficiently with the best of them. Abdullahi has recently received offers from Fresno State and Yale continuing to provide huge stock going into his senior season.

Abdullahi is beginning to gain more confidence in his outside shot where he is shooting at nearly 35 percent from beyond the arc on the spring. He is at his absolute best when he is attacking the rim and finishing against multiple defenders. Abdullahi has both length and athleticism to handle a guard position.
