Hamidou Diallo Graduates

[4in16]

Welcome to the Boneyard. We specialize in nothing.

I've been here a while. I know the drill.

Woodstock police have just rolled up on this suspicious vehicle parked by Bungee Brook.

The idea that Woodstock would have a police force is... kind of adorable lol.

 

[BUConn10]

Hyped up announcement, likely broadcast for where he commits with social media build up almost always equals Kentucky. Lets hope not.

 

[KembaStepback]

Yep. Looking UK. Briscoe comes to mind. Wasn't it between UCONN and UK for him too?

 

[Matrim55]

Yeah but that one wasn't even close.

 

[Leebo]

Did anyone think he wasn't going to do a spotlight announcement? That just seems like his style.

 

[UCweCONN]

Our signees don't usually go for the big production value announcements. Seems like he chose the glitz and flim flam over friends and family seeing him play. The injuries and poor season and Diarra's injury doomed us. He probably wanted to play with Diarra but once that appeared in doubt, we lost that advantage. It would be nice to have a recruit not go for the Kentucky sales job for once. We really needed him too. To Kentucky, he's just another all-star, but he could've been a star at UCONN. Oh, well. I'm sure KO will sign another project big man with his scholarship.

Based on Ollie's tone of the interview looks like HD is Kentucky bound.

You're interpreting it wrong. Ollie got wind that at 4 pm on Saturday Jan 7th, the apocalypse is here.

 

[Caronimo]

Hate these clowns who announce their commitments like this. If he's only going to play one semester, he's really not worth it. Won't go to class etc. fits well in the Kentucky system

 

[UCFan1513]

Seems like writing is on the wall for this one. If it were UConn figure he would have committed on or near his visit. Having a huge signing announcement wouldn't make much sense if he were just going to commit to the close by school where he already knows everyone and the staff very well

 

[reddevilhusky]

To break all the doom and gloom talk, Oz said that Taliek Brown might go to bring UConn juju to the announcement. Still seems fairly positive so who knows maybe Hami hasn't come to a final decision yet.

 

[UCweCONN]

If he doesn't choose UCONN (which I don't expect him to), I'd love to see him go to somewhere besides Kentucky, even Cuse. That would shock the world.....

Welcome to UConn Hamidou! We have great fans!

I'd honestly 10 times out of 10 in this recruitment prefer HD go to Cuse than to UK. This game needs a redistribution of talent.

The funny thing is that even with a lineup stacked with NBA first rounders, Kentucky still doesn't win titles. We win titles with one star guard and a bunch of scrubs.

True, but they deserve credit too because a single elim tourney is inherently a crap shoot. Being top 5 and a FF contender for almost 6 straight years (barring a few weeks) is impressive no matter how you cut it.

Let UK have their superstars and dirtbag coach. We'll take our titles. (And FF wins over UK.)

I coach and always say, "Anyone can coach a team of superstars." The risky thing is having a team of superstars and failing to win. Truly great coaches are those that can win with a team that has lesser talent.

I don't give them credit at all.

But, they've also had low seeds a few of those years, so not top 5, and they even lost to a low major in the NIT in 2013.

Are we confusing the hype with the reality? They come into the season ranked top 5, as in 2013, but then the reality catches up to them in half those years.

 

[King Husky]

Diallo won't play second semester this season.

N-o UCONN fans are
E-xpecting
X-citing
T-witter news on Saturday at 5:00.

 

[Jaker]

He will go to UK, never suit up, go through their the spring combine and off to the NBA. Take the money and run young fella.

 

[upstater]

That comes from a source "extremely close" to Diallo. He has decided not to play this year.

So folks, let the reality sink in now.
