SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[nomar]

But Ollie is lazy, some morons said.

 

[James]

curious what diallo would be ranked if he reclassified. he is a tremendous prospect, so i would think he stays around 20-30.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Not that I've heard of. But the UConnMBB account only follows a recruit if they commit. So he could be committing soon. Not sure when tho. Either way, it's a good sign.

The track record on this account is 100%? So this is in the bank? Not trying to be funny but I did not know about this.

PRIORITY!!!

Next?

Would KO play Diallo at the 3 with Gilbert and Adams? I know he's more of a traditional 2 guard.. thoughts?

Of course. Ignore positions. Terrence Samuel played the 3 in the NCAA tournament.

I think you will see that quite often at end of games if TL doesn't gain a handle or improve his outside shot, though Tl could slide to the 4 also at times. We will have many options as KO likes to play small ball.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

Score another one for the MBB Twitter account. So when is Diallo popping?

 

[JimHurley]

Yes absolutely. I think after this coming season our lineup will be Gilbert, Adams, Diallo, Larrier, and then Enoch and Diarra splitting time.

Err, umm, Facey too!

A lot of 3G-Set, when not at the 2 when Adams or Gilbert need a blow. KO will have a ton of roster flexibility.

Ollie doesn't give a F about positions, Warriors basketball.

I think we'd be best if Larrier played the 3. Some of our most dominant teams came with a super athletic small forward who can rebound and get out in transition (Rudy Gay, Stix Robinson, Donny Marshall, Caron Butler eras). Surround that with great guard play and a defensive center and you're in business for a 30 win season.

No way, he's gone after this year IMO

 

[UConnSwag11]

Ollie has told players uconn is positionless. Diallo won't have a "set" position

All of the positions he'll be playing will be power forward.

I am Not Committing To Any School Any Time Soon My recruitment is wide open.

ooooooof

 

[Stainmaster]

ooooooof

All of today's good vibes evaporating in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

 

[CallMeBruce]

I don't understand how anyone still takes anything these kids say publically at face value.

 

[BUConn10]

ooooooof

He really seems set on killing this perception that he is a UConn lean, which is not good for us exactly. Seems he wants more offers to come in now that he's rising in the ranks and doesn't want coaches to be scared off my the local program thought to be the favorite.

 

[CAHUSKY]

Absolutely none of them. Alterique is still committed right? If so, all good vibes still flowing.

 

[Sportsman5]

ooooooof

Gibbs basically said the same thing right before he committed

Or....like most of these kids, he wants his big announcement (whenever it is) to be a surprise.

 

[RipCity]

Oh, I was expecting him to say "My recruitment is pretty much closed, but if you want to waste your time, be my guest."

 

[tcf15]

I don't understand how anyone still takes anything these kids say publically at face value.

Seriously. One of the main Rivals writers was miffed that Gilbert decided to commit before taking all visits like it was completely unheard of for recruits to say one thing in an interview and do something else.

Feel the same way. Starting to get a bad feeling about him. If so it's his loss
