gravel sounds...you don't go against The Family, capeche!

People are forgetting about this guy. Saw a tweet thay complimented his mid range game. He's a 4 start recruit on some sites, looks like he has talent.

lets get that verbal on paper sooner than later

Can't until November so

Tore his patella tendon.

Tore his patella tendon.

This is a very serious injury, tearing your kneecap is as bad as it gets. Is there any confirmation as to whether he partially or completely tore the tendon?

maybe he shoudl reclassify to 2017 and sign with us and then redshirt and be under our  supervision for his recovery

Thats tough, feel for the kid. Hopefully he get that fixed quick and get back on the court. Selfishly he got hurt like 16 months before coming on campus and for most knee injuries of this type it usually takes a year to get back to top level so hopefully he gets the right care.

Excellent idea.  Harry Giles enrolled immediately at Duke for 2nd semester of 2015-16 after his knee injury during his senior year for the same reason, I believe.

Tore his patella tendon.

Very significant injury.  In football its worse than an ACL tear. Very few players recover and become as good as they were before.
Victor Cruz had the same injury.

2 year injury.  Shame

Coming early?

What'd he say on soclai media?  Anybody know how bad his injury is?  Not all partial tears are that bad.

Like reading that the team visited him while he was hospitalized. He was at plenty of Queens games last year, now officially apart of the program, good stuff.

So does he now become apart of the 2017 class as a RS freshman? Sid, Mikey and him quickly put the roster at 13 total scholarships, Holifield and 1-2 other walk-ons to round out the roster?

I read where he's enrolling at St John's early.  Class move by the school to help this kid in the wake of a terrible injury.

Doucoure for Rutgers, OSNA kid, just re-classed to 2017 and enrolled at Rutgers.

Still some indication that Diakite will do the same.
