Fox, Monk, Diallo, Gabriel and Bam would have to be the most athletic team ever assembled. I am sure someone can name another, but that is crazy!
Good news coming today?!

If he does join this season, I doubt he would see PT for a while, and even then I don't see it being a lot, unless Monk is in foul trouble.
Four guys collapse in a heaping pile after headbutting each other 10 1/2 feet in the air amidst alley-oop confusion.Can you just imagine a Fox/Monk/Briscoe/Diallo/Bam lineup?
Briscoe tries to help them all up and wonders what the weather is like up there.
One word Wow!
DEAR LORD.
If that dude plays any kind of clock this year you can forget about him coming back for 17/18. You can't hide him from NBA scouts, that kid is a high flyer with some really long arms.
If Cal is going to bring him, then lets go, I just hope it works, I like what we have now, but if Diallo can come in and mesh, it's over for everyone else.
Impressive.
Just get him on board and we will see if he earns playing time. Maybe he does or maybe he does not. BUT he will gets lots of time next year.
Absolutely. He's probably long enough and athletic enough to step in and fill what has mostly been a void at the 4 spot for us. I know he's not a "4" but would still surely be an upgrade over what we have been getting from that spot.

I like Cal bring in different player from the team to talk with Diallo and tell him how it will be playing for UK.
I don't see him coming in and making an impact this year regardless of his abilities. We have chemistry that has been developed over the first third of the season and I don't know how this guy shores up the gaps we do have. Our guards are solid it's our front court play and defense that needs help unless this guy is a spot up lights out shooter. Even then where would his minutes come from?
I'm telling you, if he earns regular playing time it will look more like this:
(Starters listed first)
PG: Fox 30/Briscoe 10
SG: Monk 30/Briscoe 10
SF: Briscoe 10/Diallo 30
That puts your best talent at those positions in the best position to succeed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, be VERY careful throwing that "chemistry" word around. Be verrrrrry careful. Some people don't like that word, and they really hate it when you have a concerning opinion on it. Tread lightly, and stay safe Santa.
They would come in form of Hawkins and Mulder who give us absolutely nothing!
Could this guy come to Kentucky and play in the v
Ok here's another question. If he comes is he here for next season too?

Why in the hell would we want another five star, future lottery-level player?
I mean, it isn't like we need an athletic 6'5"-6'6" wing to stop the Justin Jackson's of the world. We've obviously got that covered.

I don't get why people say he can't shoot. He made a 3 in this video.
Bingo. I don't think he missed a single shot in the ENTIRE video!!!1!!

Just hilarity that if UK gets a recruit coveted by another program Cal did something dirty -- if they land him it's completely normal..

Well that would be awesome, just seems unlikely since the rumor has always been he's
#wewonthatgame
Will he fix the outside shooting problem? Like when we shot 5-22 against Louisville and LOST. If he's gonna be around for next year than it's an awesome pick up but if we're renting him for the next 3 months I don't know if that's big of a deal. Been wrong before though...
We won because Monk had a game for the ages. Not because we contained Jackson.
Have not read the entire thread, but the first person who posted "F5" is now officially the gayest poster on this board.
6'5 Hamidou Diallo doesn't cover 6'11 Justin Jackson any better then 6'3 Isaiah Briscoe did.
I don't know how to break this to you but I hope you haven't already put the ole' apparel away until next year.

At least most of them are realistic fans that see the value in coming to UK. You would never see that kind of logic on a KU, SU, or UL site. Theyre pretty much on point with what theyre saying, for the most part anyway.
Yeah, youre probably right except that Justin Jackson is not 6'11. Everything else is spot on though!
So.....did we get him?
And how much do you guys think he'll contribute before he bolts to the NBA
