SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[husky99]

Reclass still possible...latest quote from Oz.
Not sure. I'm not really following his recruitment that much. Diallo may reclass so obviously he is our top SG

Initial blurb is in reference to Myles Powell recruitment. Crosses fingers.

Top recruiting guys are all over the map with reclassification. ..

Looks like Powell might be keeping his option open. Pitt and others are pushing hard

Yeah I bet, not exactly an exact science to predicting an 17-20 year old kids life changing decisions.

Have we offered Powell? Another dream school offer out there, yet he's keeping options open. Why?

Just to increase the stress level of middle-aged fans.

Diallo rose up to #8 in the class of '17 by 24/7. Also now #15 in the composite

Is that Chap commenting in the article? The comment is slightly more coherent than Chap's normal comments, but still has enough Chapisms that I think it is him. Good to see he is still out there trolling UConn fans.

Definitely him. "Billy4NIT" matches up well with his Courant.com comments. Interesting to see he hasn't let up on drinking antifreeze.

Hamidou would be making a big mistake going to Kentucky. Recruits that go to Kentucky are NBA ready players, which Diallo is not. He's a raw, freak athlete with tons and tons of potential. UConn is a perfect place for him. Ollie will know exactly what to do to get Diallo to the NBA.

Diallo sounds a ton like Archie Goodwin, who got drafted in the 1st after a single season at UK, but would have been better off spending another year in college.

He has 2 more years to hone his game. I expect him to be much more refined by 17

What are our legitimate chances of getting this guy? Cause I want this dude more than I want to marry Jennifer Aniston so I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

A lot of people, including our own basketball staff, as well as most anyone who has followed him, would be pretty surprised if he ended up somewhere else.

What was he in the last ranking?

30th

So is the point where we start to panic that he's too good to come here?

No such thing

UConn has a much better chance than you do with Aniston.

Uh.... is that a good thing?

Very good. Jennifer Aniston is a smoking hot celeb who recently got married. If UConn's chances were worse then we'd be doomed and a NEXT would be in order. We are FAR from that. VERY far
