SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

After consulting external sources, internal sources, and Chief's posse, here's what I have to say...

I am 100% certain that Diallo will make a decision as to whether or not he will reclassify between now and August 17th, 2016. It will happen. You can etch it in stone (but not diamond).

Stair has spoken.

Thank you, Stair the Master. Thank you...

@Aman_UConn: Vertical leaps from #UAALLAMERICA:

Mamadou Diarra: 34-inch Max, 27-inch standing vert
Hamidou Diallo: 34.5-inch Max, 29-inch standing vert

Wow. Being that close to Hamidou Diallo makes you realize how athletic Diarra is. Because Diallo gets way up.

Diallo's vertical seems awfully low just like Boatright's. The kid looks like a freak when he goes up for dunks.

Well Ryan's Max vertical was 41" so really good. It was only his standing vertical that low. Any new's if RB is still with the Nets?

6'8 wingspan probably makes it easy for him to finish anything in the paint

6'10.5", Lamb type length

wow thats insane. His physical tools are reminiscent of Exum. (length, apparent explosive first step). Could be a special special player
 
@ebosshoops: 2017 five-star Hamidou Diallo measures 6’3.5” in socks with an impressive 6’10.5” wingspan #UAALLAMERICA

hmmm draftexpress says 6'11 and draftnet says 7'1

Its 6'11", DE measurements are official listings from the combine. The 7'1" figure is from Calhoun being awful with numbers and the media running with it.

Calhoun wasn't awful with numbers. If he was awful, some of the numbers would have been too low.

This sounds good to me regardless.

If this is true and Diallo comes in 2016, I can't help but think this affects Myles Powell decision a little. I know they are completely different players and we have the scholarships, but this would result in even less playing time for Powell (if he chooses to come).

Hopefully the reclassification is figured out sooner rather than later. If Diallo commits for 2017, I think we need Powell for that 2016 class that much more...

I wouldn't worry that much about it. It doesn't sound like Purvis will be here that year, so we're going to need at least two more guards. Powell will see plenty of PT if his shooting is as good as advertised.

I agree. Diallo seems perfect for that 3rd guard/small SF spot that we saw Purvis and Omar play a bit last year. KO has shown he has no problem playing 3 guards.

I wouldn't be surprised if Diallo bases his reclassification decision around if Purvis is staying or leaving.

Powell has a skill set that ensures he will see playing time. I think he'd be smart to take his best offer (UConn), and only reconsider if Diallo reclassifies and nobody leaves. The chances of that are happening are small. There's of room for Powell.
