He's reclassifying to 2016?

Not yet, but that's been the rumor for a couple of weeks: http://the-boneyard.com/threads/hamidou-diallo.71506/page-2#post-1331793

There's our answer to the Bruce Brown question.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Bruce is correct. Lots of buzz on reclassification and it is safe to say that uconn leads from what I hear

What a class that would be if it happened. Hilarious to think back to the hysteria about KO's recruiting ability from not too long ago.

It seemed somewhat justified, too, since he missed out on a bunch of our top targets in a row. Seems like those of us that were worried jumped the gun a little bit.

Wow 31 5-star guys seems like a lot. Glad to see Diallo is getting so much play, though. I like Bruce Brown, but I'd much rather have Diallo. Better shooter, better handle, better size, and at least equivalent as a athlete.

He also misused a semicolon.

The semicolon is fine. Both clauses could stand on their own as sentences; he simply left out the subjects.

"I know many true-blue Husky fans that have trouble with some names; it means nothing."

It's not a sentence if you leave out the subjects. You can only do that with imperative sentences, as the implied subject is 'you.'

Replacing the semicolon with a comma or period would not fix the sentence. The root problem is the lack of subjects. Once that problem is fixed, the semicolon is fine. Right?

Wow, your English is terrific. You should write for a major UConn blog or something.

where does he land in 2016 if he reclassifies? probably between 45-60? i know 247 has him like 70 in 2017 which is weird

I prefer the minors. Tyler lets me swear.

247 has him #38, the composite is #71, which is likely to rise with the new ESPN ranking and when Scout revises there 2017 since Evan Daniels seemed pretty high on him after the latest UA event.

 

[UCbcm]

He was on-campus with Diarra and Ryan Murphy (new Woodstock Academy transfer from Wilbraham and Monson) yesterday or the day before. KO is keeping him close

 

[aceboon]

Murphy switched schools again? Is that number 3?

Yup. Fairfield Prep, W&M, and now WA

 

[Blue Blood]

I like our chances more if he stays in 2017 also the idea of a class with waters, diallo, and brown is amazing and could possibly our best class in history. Although I'd certainly take any of those three in 2016 as well

Don't forget Jermaine Samuels in '17.

Why wait? Get him here asap. Diarra, Larrier and Diallo would be nice to start a class with

And one year to learn behind Purvis, while still getting significant playing time.

Considering he was quoted as saying "If I had to commit today, it would be UConn" back in May, our best shot is probably with 2016. Not saying he wouldn't commit to UConn for 2017, but Diallo seem to be really high on UConn right now.

Fair point I don't think he reclassifies but if he does your right hopefully his connection to diarra would get him here

 

[Sonofabeach]

If he reclassifies to 2016, will that hurts us for recruiting Alterique Gilbert?
