COACH SHREWSBERRY ON AHNEMAN

“Finding true big men who can score with their back to the basket and also face the rim and make an impact is difficult, but that is exactly what Tommy can do. Tommy is a center who has skill and should immediately provide a physical presence to this program and be someone who you can throw the ball to on the post and expect a bucket with his combination of a soft touch around the rim and excellent footwork.”

STAFF ON AHNEMAN

Finding centers is never easy, as it is the position with the least amount of supply, and one of the highest demands. Because of that, it is always a focus to land a quality post player on the recruiting trail.

Tommy is someone who fits the mold of a traditional center in that he is 6-foot-10 and scores well on the low block, but he does more than that. He has a good touch out to the mid-range, and also is a willing passer who will make others better.

As he gets older and more mature, we view Tommy as someone who can make a major impact on the court and provide low post scoring along with someone who gets his teammates easy shots due to his passing ability.

Tommy chose Notre Dame over Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and others.
