What an awesome picture. This is my inner reckless optimist talking, but I think Diarra getting gym time in with a guy as skilled as Emeka will be great for him going forward.
Not going to speculate about the other person in the photo's presence...
Please dont do this cheif lmaoChief is always educating - this picture wasn't about Diarra!
He ruled out UConn the last time around tho
Did they?Things change.
Recruiting = fluid.Things change.
Bamba has an all star body before entering college, no homo but want this kid badly.
Things like?Things change.
Unfortunately too late in the 2017 cycle, now to 2018 and beyond.This ain't Glen Miller Bigs Ivy League recruiting anymore - gloves off.
Chief is always educating - this picture wasn't about Diarra!
Yup, recruits love developing and learning the ropes with our retired legends, and then taking those new skills to Duke/UK.Haven't we learned not to get our hopes up when top recruits practice with UConn guys (Hami)? In this day and age, a social media picture is not indicative of where a recruit's committing.
Can't hurt though.
I agree the bigger story here is Diarra working out with guys on that level... good to see.
I don't believe it will happen but that would have to be the biggest recruiting coup in our programs historyThis ain't Glen Miller Bigs Ivy League recruiting anymore - gloves off.
You forgot to mention in our brand new, top tier facilitiesYup, recruits love developing and learning the ropes with our retired legends, and then taking those new skills to Duke/UK.
All aboard!!!!!Sigh... I'm gonna get my hopes up, ain't I? Oh wait... they already are. #BambaTrain
Fishy please stop.Things change.
I'm going to go full crazy, and try to break down our main competition, assuming we're back in the race.
Duke:
Centers: Bolden, Vrank- While Bamba is a better pro prospect than Bolden, I have a hard time imagining Bolden coming back to Duke to backup a freshman. Either way Bamba would lose time and shots to Bolden.
Power Forwards: Carter, DeLaurier- Both very talented players.
When you combine both positions, I have a hard time believing this is a good fit. Current players would get frustrated, Bamba would have to earn time.
Kentucky:
Centers: Richards, Humphries- Richards is a freshman who likely wouldn't take kindly being recruited over. Humphries is a talented upperclassman, who should be the starter next season.
Power Forwards: So much talent. Gabriel, SKJ, Washington. There's no playing time at the four.
Overall I really doubt Kentucky is going hard after him.
Considering Texas lost Allen, I'd bet they're our toughest competition.
