2026 Recruiting: Arafan Diane 7'1 300lbs

[ktuck911]

Are we in on this young man? Just saw something in twitter verse. He's a little new to the game but has drawn early comparisons to Jokic...I believe he's class of '26.

 

[Drame]

Yeah were in on him.

 

[Palatine]

Both Diane and Jokic have five letters in their last name.

Let me tea leaf this one:

Character named Diane on greatest show ever --> actress leaves show --> is replaced by character who went to UConn.

I think we are looking good here.

So you're saying we won't get Diane but we'll be happy with whomever we do get? That's remarkably prescient.

I dunno I was bored and it was either a Cheers reference or Rodney saying “Diane! Say hello to my nieces” in Back to School but I couldn’t find a gif that I liked.

 

[Horatio]

Can he come as a 2025????

Yes, definitely bored!!

I read it as UConn is going to get Diane -- be the greatest team ever -- and after Diane leaves for the NBA, UConn will replace him with a player that goes to UConn (which, I can assure you, is the biggest lock in his three predictions).

There ya go, was that so hard?

[HooperScooper]

Only 12, eh?

 

[sledog]

at 300lbs, I assume he can get up/down the court? Does look solid.

 

[alphasigko]

Put Clingan in charge of convincing him!

 

[Peacefrog]

No Providence, no credibility.

You be the judge

 

[Go_Huskies]

No Duke. I like our chances.

 

[Zionn]

No Duke. I like our chances.

Houston will be the battle to end in this one.

Houston will be the battle to end in this one.

As in, we will be in it to the end as well?

Nothing new:

Houston leading for No. 1 ranked center Arafan Diane with other programs receiving visits​

Arafane Diane, the No. 1 ranked center in the class, named a top 12 schools earlier this month — Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Houston, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Oregon, Purdue, UConn, Virginia, and Washington.

From the sounds of it, Houston is currently the leader. Along with the Cougars, he has visits lined up with Kentucky and Arkansas. He’s also scheduling one with Purdue and potentially others. I’ve also been told Oregon could be a factor here as well.
