Class of 2017 G Hamidou Diallo (NY) to Kentucky

[Capt. Tuttle]

who would be the sacrificial lamb in that case: KJ, chino, or DC?

MR? Let's hope not.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Alterique was 3rd choice behind Battle and Kobi Simmons. I don't think anyone lost sleep over him committing to a mid-major.

It is really easy to despise that delusional fanbase.

Husky tears tasted delicious on Thanksgiving!

Just having fun.

Well...

Well i don't think its fun.

Well i don't think its fun.

Then you take sports too seriously. Its all fun.

 

[jdubs30]

lol did we officially even offer Gilbert?

Well, he did call us his dream school. And Kemba said he wore 15 because of Melo.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall for this one. I can imagine that they'll tell him, "you can reclass to 2016, and we'll take you, but you won't get many minutes as you will be behind three guards and then you'll be the focus of the offense in 2017, or you can stay in high school and we'll have a starting spot for you in 2017."

That is unless we see some of the attrition being discussed here. He may end up having a much bigger role. Let's say both KJ and Robertson leave. Here's the lineup.

PG: FH
SG: TB
SF: MR
PF: TL
C: PC or DC

MM
HD

Diallo would start next year...he's that good

Could be--he might keep Mali at 3 next year, and play alongside Battle / Mali.

Lots of wing athleticism.

that's how I would view the line up, if he comes..HD/TB up top...MR,TRob, DC downlow

With what I'm imagining will be another 15 lbs of muscle added, I'm thinking that the best player on the roster is missing from that starting 5.

 

[cuseattle]

I watched a little bit of Baylor tonight, and their guys are large.

You must think Lydon declares.

 

[Jake]

I don't see a scenario where Diallo and Malachi co exist.

It is impossible for me to not envision Chukwu starting next year.

 

[orangefog]

I always feel like there is a little hint of information in each of your posts. It does seem that if we were to get Diallo next year, it would be a crowded backcourt.

 

[jr4750]

I don't see a scenario where Diallo and Malachi co exist.

Ugh, if Malachi leaves we are once again hurting for depth badly. Especially if TR and KJ take off. As good as a true freshman top 15 player may be, I would much rather have a Soph MR.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

I don't see a scenario where Diallo and Malachi co exist.

Why is that? Couldn't Mali play the three and Diallo the 2? Or is there something other than a crowded back court driving this statement?

 

[cuseguy]

We need some backcourt depth next year. Not saying it's Diallo, but one injury there and we're screwed. Even without an injury, need someone.
