  • Cheick Diallo May Sign Late

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Cheick Diallo, the 6-foot-9 big man from Our Savior New American and Team Scan, may join a growing list of elite 2015 players who may not sign until the spring, a source close to the situation told SNY.tv.

    “Leaning to spring but not final yet,” the source said.

    Already, Jaylen Brown, Thomas Bryant, Isaiah Briscoe and Caleb Swanigan are planning on signing late.

    Diallo took an official visit to Kansas this past weekend but is not giving any media interviews at the moment. He is slated to visit Iowa State Sept. 26 and St. John’s Oct 18.

    Diallo has already been to Iowa State, Pittsburgh and Kentucky.

    Coaches from all five schools on his list watched him at the Peach Jam in July, where he averaged 16.4 points and 7.7 rebounds in seven games despite a bad back.

    Team Scan reached the semifinals before losing to Isaiah Briscoe and the Playaz.
