Jay David told SNY.tv.
Once schools who reached out to the the 6-foot-5 guard on June 15 included: St. John’s, Seton Hall, Maryland, Minnesota, UConn, Providence, Miami, Maryland and LSU.
Diallo has long been linked to UConn in part because his high school and AAU teammate
Mamadou Diarra, a 6-8 2016 power forward, recently committed to the Huskies.
An athletic scorer, Diallo told SNY.tv he wants to bulk up and diversify his game.
“He’s going to keep working hard, keep looking at all the schools,” David said. “He’s stronger than he looks, he’s working on his jump shot. He’s a true combo because he runs the point for us a lot. We’re actually going to start listing him as a point guard and it changes his level a little bit. Putting him at the one will change him totally.”
