The NCAA cleared Kansas freshman Cheick Diallo on Wednesday—he'll be eligible to play starting Dec. 1—and it's finally time to talk basketball again.
What will Diallo's impact be on the Associated Press' No. 5 team in the nation?
The freshman will change the Jayhawks on both ends with just his length and speed alone.
The biggest influence Diallo could have in the short term is on the defensive end, where Kansas has looked mediocre by Bill Self standards for the first month of the season.
Diallo provides the rim protection that Kansas has missed so far this year at the 5 spot.
