Hamidou Diallo, the top-ranked shooting guard in the 2017 class, is foregoing the rest of his high school season at Putnam Science Academy and will join a collegiate program by next week.
If we’re going by technicalities, it’s down to the six schools below, but it’s probably Kentucky, UConn, and Arizona in that order for his top three.
Jerry Meyer, 247 Sports’ Director of Basketball Recruiting, first surmised the possibility that Diallo would join a Division-I program this spring. At the time it looked like the Connecticut Huskies were the favorites, but that appears to have swung to Kentucky.
