Kojo Mensah Interview
By InsideHoops.com
Kojo Mensah is a high school senior star guard on Notre Dame Prep in Massachusetts. He's known for doing everything on both ends of the floor. Rarely does a guard excel on both ends of the floor the way this kid does. InsideHoops.com met with Kojo for an exclusive interview.
InsideHoops.com: You're a senior now. How's the season going?
Kojo Mensah: It's going real good, we're like 23-4 now, we have
around 16 more games left, so we're looking real good.
InsideHoops.com: What are your stats right now?
Kojo Mensah: About 18 points and 7 rebounds, something like that.
InsideHoops.com: Talk about the college recruiting process. You're
pretty sought-after.
Kojo Mensah: Right now we're looking to find time I can get
in-between the season where I can start visting my schools. That's what I'm
going to do when I go back up to school, and talk to my father.
InsideHoops.com: Any preference on what type of school you go to?
Large or small...
Kojo Mensah: Probably will be a large school, but it depends on who
is there before me (in the lineup), so it depends on my playing time and
everything, that's a key thing I'm basing it on.
InsideHoops.com: You wanna get out there and really ball right away.
Kojo Mensah: Yeah, I'm looking to get playing time right away, where
I can make a big impact early, so I don't have to really sit behind anyone
that much.
InsideHoops.com: Talk about your game. Your best skills.
Kojo Mensah: Defensively, I think I put a lot of pressure, when I'm
playing straight-up man-to-man, and offensively creating my own shot, and
creating for others, too. That's what I think I bring the most when I play.
InsideHoops.com: A point guard with scoring ability like a shooting
guard.
Kojo Mensah: Yeah. I think I create for others and for myself.
InsideHoops.com: You haven't decided where you're going to school,
yet.
Kojo Mensah: Not yet. I'm just looking at everything. I just gotta
see where I want to visit.
InsideHoops.com: Are the offers coming in that you hoped would?
Getting the right attention?
Kojo Mensah: Yeah, the offers are coming now. And coming up is the
national prep tournament, so I'll probably increase it a little more after
that. So, we're just going to wait. I'm going to wait till after that
tournament to do anything.
