Hamidou Diallo Graduates

[BUConn10]

It was anything ground breaking. He said what he's pretty much been saying. Hami is UCONN bound sooner rather than later

Thank you for ending that nonsense.

Unfortunately, your post just caused Rivals' parent company's stock to drop 50% and hundreds, no thousands are being laid off as we speak. The economic toll of your leak will likely be felt globally as you just seriously degraded the integrity of a pay site's members-only section, RIP.

@BUHusky10 I understand your angst. But out of all the "insiders" that are connected to UConn-basketball forums, Oz has been right more times than not and has been consistent for a while. Take that with a grain of salt.

I trust Oz as one of the more connected people who disseminates UConn related info online, but some people here hold his word to a laughable standard. I get that he's confident about a kid, but in what universe is a kid who is still 2-3 years away from graduating, let alone committing to a school, ever a "lock" for anywhere. That type of confidence lacks basic logic. When Oz was saying "he's ours" a year or two ago, Diallo hadn't even received most of his offers yet, let alone other majors at UConn's level. To say he's ours without considering the fluidity of the situation so far in advance is foolish to me, whether he ends up being right or not.

Count me as one. I laugh at him, you and everyone.

To each their own. He knows more than the car wash guy.

At least Oz exists.

So "Somewhere, over a rainbow" is in Connecticut?

He's by far the most connected poster. Think Hamidou has given some sort of silent verbal a while ago.

I actually agree with everything you're saying, but you seem a little too angry about this, lol.

LOL, definitely not angry, more annoyed and rolling my eyes at what I'm reading over the last page of this thread as if it was about classified files leaked by the CIA.

Definitely. Saw him talk to Alterique, KO, and Hamidou on the court before I chatted with him.

Give you any time table for a decision?

Eh, I think you're arguing semantics. Whatever the preponderance of evidence is for declaring with confidence that a recruit is headed to a particular destination (obviously you can never be 100% sure), Oz thinks Hami passed it a while ago. Nothing is ever written in stone, which is why people continually freaked out about Drummond even though there was never any indication that he was going anywhere but UConn. As @superjohn said, it's probably as simple as Hami having given a silent verbal or something close to it, hence why everybody within the program acts like he's already on the team.

OZ told me cold be on of any 20's: Minutes, hours, days, weeks but it there's a good chance it will be the Huskies.......or UK

 

[JimHurley]

Nope. I said "hopefully soon" and he responded "yeah, hopefully"

Did you mention he doesn't know what he's talking about because players already told you Hami wasn't coming here?

 

[AfgHusky15]

Don't know JimOllie and can't verify whether he met with Oz (but I take him for his word). I can confirm that I saw Oz on the court after the festivities ended and did see him talk to hami briefly. Looked like Oz and hami have known each other for a while (or know each other well) from the way they interacted. It confirmed to me that Oz is the most plugged in "source" we have to the program and I am glad he shares some nuggets with us on the other board every once in a while. Obviously only Hami truly knows where he wants to go and he may not even know now and may change his mind but the fact that Oz has been very confident for a long time now is a VERY VERY good sign. Also For what it's worth Oz himself is a big dude pretty tall and built... IMO The legend of Oz grows.

Dude, just please give it a rest. Let's all just move forward amicably.

He's good friends with Ollie and knows all the players well.

It means your fingers are itching to repeatedly bring up nonsense from a month ago because you're natural inclination as a poster on this board is to be a or a bully by default, effectively contributing to the derailment of threads like above. I was trying to be nice.

 

[UCweCONN]

Until he's signed, I won't feel confident. Cash in envelopes has a way of changing kids' minds for some strange reason.

He believes we're not getting Hami because players said we aren't. Why wouldn't he bring that up?

 

[JimHurley]

Dude, just please give it a rest. Let's all just move forward amicably.

He clearly doesn't know how to do that.

This...1000%.
