2017 Mamodou Diarra (Washington decommit)
- Thread starter rta32
- Start date
Different position, no?
All I can say definitively was that he isn't highly ranked and there is extremely little out there on him. International recruits obviously tend to fall this way, particularly from his part of the world. Glad you've heard good things though.
Davis or Harris would be so clutch from a guard standpoint though.
Does anyone know if we have we even offered Daejon Davis and Blake Harris and if so what are the chances we can land them?
It hasn't been announced that we have but things materialize faster in spring commitments so you may never hear of an offer really... even though I'm sure we've told both we want them
Wouldn't call it a reach due to the decent list of schools currently after him. Rakim Lubin was a reach.
Good article here on Diarra 2: http://247sports.com/Article/Athletic-69-Mamoudou-Diarra-Commits-To-The-Washington-Huskies-46485549
Regardless of what this kid is it's not as though they can afford to be overly selective. Doesn't matter what people say, losing Steve is a problem
Raphael hasn't even been on the job for a week yet and he's getting visits from Blake Harris and Diarra!
I hope we save some schollies for some 2018 McDonald AA next year tho
This kid isn't a 5 so in terms of playing stretch 4 probably. Not sure he's an instant impact guy regardless
Neither...not a wing and not a true center but an athletic big man. We have 3 open schollies, time to start filling them with athletes
Would be surprised if UConn does not land Diarra by the end of the weekend; Raphael Chillious has a great rapport with him and his camp. Would bring upside and versatility to UConn.
Thanks Corey. Any idea how this would affect our recruitment of guys like Wooten and Cam Johnson?
Don't see them having much of a chance with Cam Johnson; with Wooten, that is to be determined. Process just beginning again with him. Wooten & Diarra are very similar, if that helps answer your question.
Wouldn't affect Waters recruitment whatsoever...long way to go with that one, though. A lot of moving pieces to that.
Not a ton but I do believe UConn is one of the top landing spots for him. All depends on if they can offer what the kid/his camp are looking for at the next level.
