Boubacar Diakite, SF, OSNA, LI - ST. JOHN'S

Andrew Slater‏ @ASlater247:

6'9" Boubacar "Bouki" Diakite of @OSNA_BVHOOPS has enrolled early at St.John's. Was originally class of 2018.

I know he had an injury, but if he can play, could he play or does he have to redshirt.
Just trying to understand exactly what this means.

We could always use another big man.

Would expect him to redshirt in light of serious injury rehab process. Secondly, he is more of a perimiter guy & raw  at this point.

This is about proper rehab and care. Don't expect anything from him. He's a RAW player so I doubt he would have added anything this season anyway. This year can be really important for his future even if he doesn't practice much.

Looks like he's moving well-
