Earlier today, 2015 basketball recruit Cheick Diallo picked Kansas over Pitt, Kentucky, St. John's, and Iowa State. After the announcement, which he made on Twitter, he spoke about why he picked the Jayhawks.
"I felt like Kansas was the best place for me," said Diallo, a 6-foot-9 power forward. "I can earn playing time right away. I played against Joel Embiid in high school and watched his development. I need to work on a lot of things and feel coach [Bill] Self can help my game. On my visit, the campus was great and the people were nice.
