Zags- Diarra's team mate -------Hamidou Diallo Visits UConn

Hamidou Diallo, a 6-5 2017 shooting guard from Woodstock (CT) Academy, took an unofficial visit to UConn on Tuesday........ Currently ranked #30 by ESPN and #38 by Rivals....also noticed this from Nov 2014 : " Diallo reclassified from 2016 to 2017 after making the transfer this summer " if his game continues to evolve could he switch back to join his HS team mate at Uconn ?

Long- kind of reminds me of Jeremy Lamb, maybe a little more athletic looking. I hope he can play defense.

I was thinking the same thing - long and wiry with a good shooting stroke..... he also knows what he needs...from HD: " In his remaining time in HS, Diallo, who is an athletic scorer, wants to bulk up and diversify his game."

Also regarding his team mate Diarra, after some of the recent UA games, I see ESPN has moved him in their top 100:
Class of 2016 ESPN Top 100

Was it the recent performances or the fact that he signed with UConn that lifted him into the ESPN top 100?

Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247
@Kizzlethadon ....."Likely to move up"

Diallo will be a beast here!!

Talented for sure, little stiff for my taste. I'll take him if we can get him.

UK signed Jamal Murray and he could potentially be a roadblock if he is not one and done. Murray is a very good player at the same position.......

Here's an update on Murray......Team Canada wanted him as their PG but he would've missed to much time( a semester ?) so he's starting school at UK this week:
Official: Jamal Murray will not be playing for Team Canada at FIBA Americas
