SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[superjohn]

Let's get it done with Alterique soon. El-Amin is just waiting on UConn to offer. which I'm sure will come in the future.

 

[Danzz]

There's a difference between playing with Kemba+Bazz or Bazz+Boat and Kemba+Bazz+Boat...we've never had that kind of situation and honestly I think that no matter how unselfish each guy would be, you can't get maximum effectiveness if you dilute their minutes like that. Not to mention that Waters and Gilbert are very much on the short end height-wise (I'll defer to Mau on this).

Whelton/Westin, Ollie/Sheffer

 

[Matrim55]

I'd imagine we'll have a hard time convincing two top-50 point guards to commit in the same class.

Probably. But IEA is 6-foot-3, which is plenty big enough to have him play as a college SG for long stretches.

 

[jazyj]

I'd much rather see Ish El-Amin than Waters. I think him and Diallo would be a dynamite class

are you on drugs

 

[BUHusky]

UConn lean or not, everyone needs to stop talking about Gilbert in UConn's future plans, if and until he actually commits. Last time I checked pretty much every top recruit UConn was after in the 2015 class was a UConn lean at some point...

 

[Stainmaster]

Whelton/Westin, Ollie/Sheffer

No, I mean 3 at the same time. Obviously we're at our best with two PGs out there.

 

[David 76]

I would not expect any guard 6 feet tall or under to leave early.
Mau told me Gilbert was really 5 feet even and Waters is - 3 inches

 

[Stainmaster]

Waters is - 3 inches

You're being a bit too generous there...

No. I'm not saying Waters isn't a good player. I just want the son of a Husky legend. If Ish has half the heart of his father he'll be a stud.

we all would like that, but the staff should just grab a kid if his dad went to uconn, especially if they don't think he'll fit the system or there are better players they can get

 

[Matt1010]

No. I'm not saying Waters isn't a good player. I just want the son of a Husky legend. If Ish has half the heart of his father he'll be a stud.

Waters is a stud and I would pick him over Ish 10/10. If he fits with the recruiting class I'm all for picking both up but if it comes down to getting 1/2 it's an easy decision.

 

[husky99]

No. I'm not saying Waters isn't a good player. I just want the son of a Husky legend. If Ish has half the heart of his father he'll be a stud.

I want the best possible player. Not the son of an amazing player. Look at Jordans kids. Good mid major players at best

I can't trust you anymore David. That's the last time I will let you in on my secrets of height. You're OUT

 

[David 76]

I couldn't help myself. I'm a weak man.

 

[KembaStepback]

I thought IEA was highly rated, no?

After a quick search... Scout has Waters #31 overall and IEA #38. MY GOD there is such a HUGE difference. I must be on drugs...

 

[Thirty Three]

I'm 100% sold on Waters. He's not only a phenomenal player, he also has an incredible work ethic, and he's an honors student. He looks like an awesome prospect to me.

[AtlantaHusky]

that is not normal. wow.

 

[tcf15]

Another angle

 

[RipCity]

Have duck____ mercy.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Kid's an animal. Can't wait to see him playing with Brimah, Larry, dham, Jalen etc..

 

[Tommyboy]

That's a super aggressive put back dunk. Love it.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Good Lord when has UConn last gotten an athlete like Diallo?

Sticks? I guess maybe Boat, but Diallo is so impressive because he has the size, too.

sticks and dyson were the most recent players to attack the rim like that, like they wanted to tear it down

 

[SellersElbow]

Good Lord when has UConn last gotten an athlete like Diallo?

Sticks? I guess maybe Boat, but Diallo is so impressive because he has the size, too.

Although he was a project during his year with us, Drummond could rise up and attack the rim with the best of them. He had some size, too.

 

[JimHurley]

Absolutely no inside information but I'd be pretty surprised if Diallo is not a Husky. And the backcourt of Adams, Gilbert, and Diallo leading us to another championship.

Sticks, Boat, Drummond. Maybe Larrier from the highlight clips

We do have this guy named Rodney Purvis. Ring any bells?

 

[Chief00]

Considering he was quoted as saying "If I had to commit today, it would be UConn" back in May, our best shot is probably with 2016. Not saying he wouldn't commit to UConn for 2017, but Diallo seem to be really high on UConn right now.

Agree get while it's hot.
