PF Mamadou Diarra (Signed LOI on 11/14)

[Tommyboy]

first experience with that app, very cool that you can broadcast live off a cell phone, but admittedly not the best quality, couldn't hear a thing

I could hear fine when his coach was talking. I dont think Mamadou was speaking into the microphone that well.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Seriously, some of us have work we need to get back to pretending to do!!

Hahahaha. A recruit announcement before a holiday weekend? Forget about it.

 

[Stainmaster]

Does this mean a moratorium on the "KO Can't Recruit" threads?

No, he preps 35 minutes from campus so he doesn't count.

 

[Rocktheworld]

This is really some explosive news

Nah, Diarra doesn't count. School is literally too close to count.

 

[Leebo]

Are people saying "Die-arra" in their heads when they make the diarrhea jokes? I've been imagining it as "Dee-arra."

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Per Ostrout tweet: Hamidou Diallo said if he were to commit today it would be UConn adding "that's justright now"

The good news continues to flow!!!!

Correct. We heard the coaches whole life story perfectly. It was longer than War and Peace.

First HS recruit since early Sept. Great to break the ice

Announced via his press conference. Our first pickup of 2016.



Here is a recent breakdown of his game. Nice way to lead off our crucial 2016 recruiting class.

The one at 1:10 where he just nonchalantly blocks and rips it out of the kid's arms one-handed made me LOL

Nah, Diarra doesn't count. School is literally too close to count.

Plus we're his dream school. Definitely doesn't count.

Well it's something. Not like Dunn or Chukwu stayed in-state.

 

[CL82]

I'm not saying this kid doesn't need time in the weight room but he's more solid than I expected.

 

[HuskyAlum012]

I expect Diarra and Gibbs to commit to UConn.

Well played.

 

[art4life]

Alright Alright Alright!
Nice start to the holiday weekend!

 

[jfuchs91]

Seems like we've rarely won in the recruitment of players who announce through a press conference. It's nice to see a commit put on a UConn hat for once:

 

[Scottzer]

Man, this kid looks athletic. I hope he adds 2", 30 lbs, and maintains that motor. Looks like a project with tremendous upside.

Lets all do the Mama Dance!

The moment ends...though I feel winds
The moment ends...The Mama Dance

(Ok, so it's really the Moma Dance ) The end is just a new beginning.


Skip to 58 seconds if looking for the hook:

On the other ram board, someone mentioned the score is even now. I'm new to the early recruiting process, so who did we lose out to VCU in the past?

Don't try to understand what they're saying. The only relevant "score" between UConn and VCU is 4-0.

Here's a link to his announcement.

terry larrier in '14 (who we're back in on now that he's transferring), and tevin mack in '15, who's now headed to texas. hope the initial feeling of winning felt good for them because it sure didn't last...
