Top 10 recruit in the country averages a little less than 4 FGA per contest? Thats a little disconcerting considering he shot up so high based on the NBPA camp where it seems like no defense is played
I'm pretty sure the 16-23 overall number refers to free throw attempts/made and not field goal attempts/made. The math checks out --> 16/23 = 69%. Well, 69.56 which, in my world anyway, gets bumped up to a cool 70%. It just catches the eye better. But I'm a softie. Francis is a much harsher grader
Offensively he's not a finished product and needs to improve his overall skills in that department as he gets older. He's productive and has seen his stock rise because of his high energy non stop motor, where he finds opportunities to score in transition, good position inside for easy dump offs and put backs. His Peach Jam numbers weren't great as his previous numbers, but to be fair there was four EYBL sessions in which 4-5 games were played in each, and 3/4 of those sessions Diallo averaged more pts, rbs, and blks than McCullough.
Yeah that's for his free throw numbers and not his fg attempts/made. I would've had the overall fg numbers next to his ppg if that was the case. Thanks for clearing that up if spo023 misunderstood.I'm pretty sure the 16-23 overall number refers to free throw attempts/made and not field goal attempts/made. The math checks out --> 16/23 = 69%.

Screwed that one up. Shoulda thought about that one. For some reason, whenever I see the numbers, i just assume FG% instead of FT%.

The main focus is on Diagne. Read a few weeks back that Louisville and Pitt were the frontrunners, but said in an update from tos that he's taking his recruitment process slow. I would expect that we should have a commitment from Diagne by the time Diallo's recruitment heats up with all of the heavyweights coming after him.
Francis - out of question that Diagne commits this weekend/shortly after Orange Madness visit? Let's hope he likes juggling!
With his host family and coach supposedly coming as well, I would be very surprised if we didn't land a commitment from him shortly after the event.
lol
He was invited to the Elite Camp and Midnight Madness and both times didn't show up. Our coaches are interested but it seems like his handlers are pushing him towards SJU, Pitt, and Louisville.
Those sound like heady handlers with Diallo's best interests at the forefront.
Lavin's terrific coaching and Pitt's style of play is a big turn on. Sarcasm alert.
They churn out NBA All Stars on the reg.
