He still has to graduate high school. No idea where he stands on that.

Does it ever matter anymore?

I don't know if it wasn't a real offer before, but it is now. Purdue, Kansas, and Houston also offered.

Yeah was a bit confused when I saw this because I thought we had already offered.

 

[Son of Robert]

Good to be in it. We have a big open spot with plenty of minutes

What I view as the most impressive thing is that he grew an inch from post #4 to post #7. At this rate he'll be 8'4" by the time he graduates from high school.

5. 4-Star C Arafan Diane​

There is an obvious physical factor with Arafan Diane. The true 7-footer has a strong frame and length that is simply not matched in this camp, and honestly might not be matched currently in high school basketball.

Diane has good, passer-friendly hands. He was able to consistently high point the ball in traffic, keeping the ball high and finishing over his left shoulder. Diane showed touch in the mid range, and when he drew the double team (which was pretty much the entire second half) he would pass away from the help setting up an open teammate. Diane has been a top-35 ranked player for On3 for the better part of a year, and he continues to get better.

poor max vert. pass.

 

[Ricker]

I watched 2-3 hours of the camp games on Friday skipping from one game to another so I only have short impressions of numerous players. Diane was an obvious quality big man, but I have to say that there were several others that also looked like they had the physical tools to become impactful. In most years the tall guys seem like string beans. This year seems like there are numerous bigs with bigger frames. Ponder's team wasn't playing while I was watching so I still haven't seen him. I did see Diane put up 2 threes and make 1 but his toes might have been on the line for the make. Diane owned the rebounds that came his way but some of the 6'8 players got rebounds that Diane will eventually get with better positioning. A good player with size, skills, power, and just scratching the surface. Looks the part for sure.
