Coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies will have an opportunity to make an impression on one of the top big men in the 2027 class on September 6 when five-star power forward Ahmed Nur arrives on campus for an official visit.Nur, a 6-foot-8, 190-pound product of Hopkins, Minnesota, who plays at Bella Vista College Preparatory in Scottsdale, Arizona, is ranked as the nation’s No. 24 overall prospect and No. 4 power forward by the 247Sports Composite, and is beginning to narrow down his list of 26 offers.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe’s already taken an official visit to Purdue in June, and has also lined up trips to Ole Miss and Syracuse for August 22 and 28, respectively.Nur, who was recently named MVP of the NBPA Top 100 Camp, has showcased an impressive skill set on the summer circuit, which has caught the eye of programs all over the country, and his talent could be an intriguing fit in Sprinkle’s offense.”The 6-foot-8 talented dual-forward was aggressive finding scoring opportunities, whether in transition or from beyond the arc,” 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins wrote of his performance at the 3SSB Circuit. “He is comfortable stepping into rhythm jumpers from deep and attacking the basket with purpose off the dribble. As he continues to add strength to his frame, his game has the potential to reach higher levels.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSprinkle’s coaching staff is making a big push with some of the nation’s top prospects in 2027, including five-star guard Jalen Davis and Nur’s teammate, five-star center Darius Wabbington.This article originally appeared on Huskies Wire: Washington basketball to host 5-star power forward on official visit
