Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2169910, member: 40"] He started the year at a prep school, then transferred to UK mid-year. Didn't play, as there were apparently some clearinghouse issues -- but he must have been a "graduate" and have fulfilled all of the core courses for UK to accept him. Maybe he needed the fall semester to pad his transcript with a few core courses -- not sure. I don't think anybody at UK ever expected him to play, it was pretty much universally understood that he was fast tracking toward going pro at the earliest opportunity. But there was no downside for either party. UK got the publicity and potentially having another kid from their program go in the first round, Diallo gets the prestige of going to UK and got to practice against them for an entire semester, enhancing his "readiness" to make the jump.
