That's Mamadou...
Squid in attendance. Yuck.We have covered Hamidou Diallo here at HoopSeen over the past few months more than anyone else. However, what the 6-foot-5 wing did this past month and on the biggest stage that is the Hoop Hall Classic, the New Yorker showed just why he is an elite recruit within the 2017 class.
Always one of the more energetic, passionate guys around, Diallo struggled mightily in the first half of his contest against Commonwealth Academy. However, the Putnam Science junior went bonkers in the final session in Massachusetts hitting on nine of his ten field goal attempts and throwing up 28 points in the second half alone. Add in his 10 rebounds that he corralled out off of the perimeter and in front of Kentucky head coach John Calipari, Diallo showed just how immense his upside and potential is. Think about it…Diallo didn’t hold a scholarship offer heading into his sophomore year of high school play last year. Now 16 months later, Diallo is a top-15 recruit and a possible one-and-done recruit, which is if he keeps producing like which he did this past month.

Diallo is the real deal! Jalen, Alterique and Hamidou would be phenomenal. Watched Diallo this weekend in a good battel with El Darvish, the SG/PG from Lee Academy, who is an excellent player (but not ranked anywhere that I could find?). Diallo's got a great body, quickness, good handle, jumps to the moon...just a superb athlete.
Would be great to have him. Would just need to find a reliable outside shot among them.
Yeah, that dude is totally under the radar.Watched Diallo this weekend in a good battel with El Darvish, the SG/PG from Lee Academy, who is an excellent player (but not ranked anywhere that I could find?)
El Darvish has offers to play professionally overseas but he told me he really wants to play college ball in the states. He hasn't signed with a school yet. A definite sleeper and wherever he goes will be lucky to have him. Great overall game and doesn't force things but takes his opportunities as they come. He can do it all. As I said in my previous posts, his game reminds me of Chris Herren (before the drugs).Yeah, that dude is totally under the radar.
I have to admit that as a Lebanese-American, I'd love to see him with the Huskies. But my guess is he ends up at a small or mid-major school - BU, Northeastern, Providence, that sort of thing.
I've always had a soft spot for Northeastern , so I hope he ends up there and absolutely tears it up. Would love to see him become for them what Jared Jordan was for Marist a decade back.El Darvish has offers to play professionally overseas but he told me he really wants to play college ball in the states.

I wonder where he winds up by the final 2017 rankings gotta think he climbs into the top 5 that dunk is something only a handful of nba guys could pull off just crazy potential
OMG he's not coming here, doomed!
He committed to Cooley yesterday I bet

He didn't commit but he did go to the PC- Nova game.
