Hamidou Diallo Documentary

That's the thing that leaves me thinking be could just as easily choose uconn. He is so confident that he might choose us just to be different. Like he doesn't need UK to get drafted high. Honestly I think he would do better somewhere that he doesn't have to defer to other top picks all the time.

This kids swagger really reminds me of Kobe. I'm not convinced that he won't just go straight to the NBA next year and bypass college. He has that option right?

This kid is going to be really special. Hopefully he is UConn special. Has the potential to be the best player to put on a Husky uniform and that's saying a lot.

I know that times change, but I don't buy that Diallo has to start if he comes to UConn. He needs to earn his time like everyone else. This was (or appeared to be) a rule for Calhoun that no one would be promised playing time and I recently watched many of the games from Ray Allen's freshman season when he did not start despite his obvious potential. I know, that was ancient history, but I hope that KO continues that practice of not promising playing time to recruits. If he comes in and is not ready to play before Larrier or Gilbert, then what would it do to the morale and cohesion of the team? He would be playing a good number of minutes in any case, but the team has to come first. KU's Diallo didn't play much and still got drafted--did this kill KU's chances with Top Ten recruits?

This kid starts from day 1 on any team in the country. What a talent.

Thanks DB2u BINGO. I mean everyone that has ever come to UConn has talked about needing to earn their minutes since JC took over. Even heard many of the recruits say they respected that because the appreciate the honesty of the staff and thought other programs may be less than honest. Ham's no different and by no means is a done deal in the line up day 1.

His demeanor and smile remind me somewhat of Ray Allen. Please come to Uconn, Hami!!!
