Mamadou Diarra

[hoopreality]

I'm a fan more and more i see highlights of this kid play. Teamed up with Zach Brown will be a strong frontcourt for years to come. Diarra gives me a Jeff Adrien feel in terms of work ethic

His latest highlight reel:

Yep, I've seen him play a couple of games and the first player that comes to mind is Jeff Adrien. Diarra will be the best motor UConn has had in years.

All he does is finish- I like.

His latest highlight reel:

I particularly liked the last play in the vid, where it's him and three opponents under the rim, and he grabs the board and goes right up with it.

Every rebound has his name on it. I love the kid already.

underrated for sure, kid looks like a high 4 star prospect

Once he's in our strength program and his legs get stronger, he's going to be similar to Shonn Miller in terms of leaping ability off of two feet. Helps make up for his lack of height.

With that kind of athleticism, wouldn't surprise me if he played the 3 spot

I wonder what the rim did to him because he seems to like to punish it.
