Mamadou Diarra selects UConn; could Hamidou Diallo be next?
To the surprise of no one, Mamadou Diarra chose UConn over VCU on Friday. We'll have a story here soon. Here's some video and pictures:
A couple of funny and interesting quotes and excerpts:
Woodstock coach Tom Espinosa:
“What’s important to me is that you become a Division 1 person. I can tell you this -- Mamadou is a Division 1 person.”
Diarra:
(on Kevin Ollie)
“I just feel like whatever he says, he means what he says. He believes in his players, and he’ll get the best out of me.”
(on how tough the decision was)
“It was tough, because it’s four years of my life. You see a lot of kids transferring out of school, you don’t want to be one of those kids. It’s a big decision.”
