Arizona basketball recruiting: Hamidou Diallo expected to officially visit Arizona, could play right away

Five-star recruit Hamidou Diallo is expected to take an official visit to Arizona in early January, reports Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com.

Diallo, a 6-foot-5 guard, is the No. 10 player in the 2017 class, and is the No. 1 shooting guard in the nation.

An interesting wrinkle? Diallo could enroll in college for the spring semester and therefore play right away wherever he chooses to go, as the NCAA has cleared him to do so. Yes, that means if Arizona lands Diallo, he could be suiting up for the team in the second half of this season — and we know how badly the Wildcats need depth right now.
