SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[HuskyFich]

You can also see his ranking as an opportunity for Kentucky and Duke to check in.

All of the rapid replies to me show how defensive/insecure you guys are. Just be honest about it--him blowing up is most likely not good for us, though of course it doesn't mean KO WON'T seal him up.

Lets see...

1 month ago: "If I'd have to choose right now, it would be UConn"
Approx 2 weeks ago: "He's (Mama) like my brother"
Throughout this whole process another school hasn't been mentioned as a favorite
UConn got Kemba Walker (top 15)
UConn got Andre Drummond (top 1)
UConn goes for a certain type of PERSON, not necessarily every 5* recruit out there unlike the UKs of the world

Anymore pessimistic thoughts you want thrown out the window, just let me know....

Someone says something true; other posters also feel the same way but don't want to admit it, and that someone saying it out loud makes them nervous; they lash out with insults at that someone since there is no other target for their negative emotions.

lol

Do you really think it would take a change in ranking for big schools to take notice of Diallo? These coaches literally make a living finding great players to recruit. They don't need Evan Daniels to find the players for them.

All this ranking does is reiterate how good Diallo is and how lucky we are to be in good shape for him.

This Rashadamel dude is a lot right now. Hamidou Diallo is a 2017 recruit atm, which means he could take well over a year to choose a school. Let's chill out until he actually reclassifies.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

That why you have 3500 posts on a message board? Don't act like we all don't live and die with our team, whether it's healthy or not.

I don't live and die with any of this ____, least of all recruiting. Grow up.

This thread is not going well for you. I know you think you're "keeping it real" or something but you just sound like a tool.

I'd like to see some one on one with this young man and Waters - since they're both 17' ...I dig his length.

George Takei, is that you?

 

[Huskyforlife]

His point is correct but it goes without saying.

Just sounded like you are sorry the kid is getting better and better. It is good to have a leg up with a #13 recruit. I understand it gets more competitive. If he went in the other direction and was #113, we would get him easier but it's not a good thing.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

This kid seems like a J.Lamb clone without the great shooting(as of right now)

 

[tcf15]

247 bumped him up to #20 and he is now a 5*.

For the composite, he is #24 and a 5*.

I keep thinking the same thing when I see his vids. He moves just like J Lamb. He's a little shorter and not nearly the shooter (yet) but he's definitely a little quicker and more explosive. I really really really hope we get him

Is there still talk of him reclassifying to 2016? Any idea how likely it is he reclassifies?

I'd put it at better than 50/50.

Gotta think that's better for us, the longer we have to fend off the sharks the worse I like our chances.

 

[RipCity]

He wears a short sleeve shirt under his jersey, so we should have him in the bag.

Some recent quotes from Diallo in a IU Rivals article. Also mentioned in the article he was measured as 6'5", 185 with a 6'10" wingspan:

• On Tom Crean: "He called me on June 15, and he wanted to tell me that I remind him of Victor Oladipo," Diallo said, referring to the IU player who was the No. 2 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. "He wants to work on me. He said if I go to Indiana, it would be the best thing for me. He said he liked the way I play. He said he'd seen a lot of footage of me, and he feels he could work on my game so much."
• "I want to go to a school that I can impact the most right away," Diallo said. "I'm not looking forward to going and sitting for a year. I want to be a player that's known for my defense and my offense."
• On Louisville: "I've put in the work to show I'm capable of playing at that level. I know Louisville. They create tough guards and mold their guards," he said.
• On Mamadou: "That was the best school for him, but what's best for him might not be what's best for me," Diallo said. "I'm trying to weigh out my options right now."
• "I want to have a good relationship with the coaching staff, find a school that makes me feel at home and school my family likes," Diallo said.
• "A lot of coaches have told me that they can get me to the pros," Diallo said. "I want to see who is telling me the truth and which coaches are telling me false things."

"A lot of coaches have told me that they can get me to the pros," Diallo said. "I want to see who is telling me the truth and which coaches are telling me false things."

On Louisville: "I've put in the work to show I'm capable of playing at that level. I know Louisville. They create tough guards and mold their guards," he said.

Seriously how do people come to this conclusion. When Peyton Siva is far and away the best of a school's NBA guard talent (of THREE current players total), what does that tell you about the reality of Louisville's ability to mold great guards? They're fairly on par with Cincinnati.

Kids needs to do some basic, cursory history before they make these decisions. They quite clearly don't. Kid better not be listening to Crean; he's basically Diet Cal.
