Needs to put on the weight, but they both like to dunk everything. Which is great.

What I like about ESPN's scouting report about the kid is how they describe him....

"Diarra is a true power forward...."

Annnnnd then they list him as a center.

It's a trend in New Journalism called fluid reporting - if you throw enough crap on the wall something might stick so the writer can claim they were right about something. Sadly, in journalism and visual media, whether its sports or news, editing, research, checking sources, common sense, etc., for the most part left a long time ago and is not likely to make a return visit.

Pay it no mind, tcf just posted an article last week from a Maryland reporter where Diallo said Diarra was basically like his brother and was trying to get him to UConn. These quotes were given at the NBAPA Camp just last week, nothing has changed.

The tos writer said it on the paid board that there is many different quotes about his friend influencing Diallo recruiting. He went on to say he just published what he was told.

Chinese investors.

But, according to Espinosa, in the middle of May, employees of Putnam Science Academy, including himself, were offered their jobs back as a new ownership group, backed by Chinese investors, had been found.

The Chinese are buying/investing everything in this country. Better not make their games decline

It may be a EB5 group investing in the school. EB5 is a US government incentive package that encourages foreign investment by offering citizenship to investors who invest a minimum of $500k in a US business or project that generates long term jobs. EB5 funds are very popular right now.

Still a 3 star, but Rivals has him at #147 in their new 2016 rankings.

Stars and rankings aren't everything, but I'd feel better about our frontcourt situation post-Brimah if we get a Top 50 (or Top 20) true C in 2016. Diarra will be a solid, tough lunchpail, 4-year PF, mostly off the bench, but he's not ever going to be a starting center. Enoch will need someone to split minutes with.
