The weird thing about his recruitment is everyone expects him to go to Syracuse because he is a high major talent in the area. To be honest there has been no indication whatsoever that he is a "lock" or even strongly leaning towards Syracuse. Don't be surprised if mick pulls off an upset with him. Just my gut.

He has visited Syracuse on 3 separate occasions. That's a pretty strong indication there is major interest there from both sides.

Major interest yes however it's not unheard of for someone like Diagne is close proximity to a high major school to make that many "visits" to a campus. How many times did oj mayo and bill walker "visit" UC? Even Jabari Parker visited DePaul on 2-3 Seperate occasions reportedly. Is Syracuse the team to beat at the end of the day? Possibly. But to say well Syracuse is almost a lock or he is a heavy lean there is irresponsible considering he hasn't said a word about it.

Also u have to take into account that Syracuse although they will lose 2 key big guys this year and a couple young ones who are 4 year players and also have signed one already in 2015 and one in the 2014 class. May be more immediate playing time here which is always an interest of a big time recruit.

Well I never said he was a Syracuse lean or almost a lock. However Syracuse doesnt lose too many top players from that area that they make a priority. All the recruiting analysts seem to think Cuse is where he is headed as well. Its not hard to figure out that Cuse is the team to beat at this point. Its also not irresponsible to say that.

Im also not saying UC doesnt have a chance with him. He is taking his time and his coach has said that along with Cuse that Memphis, Duke, Rutgers, and Kansas have been recruiting him the hardest. He is setting up visits over the summer and is open to any program. However Syracuse is the team to beat at this point in the process.

Sorry jack I wasn't clear about my irresponsible comment i wasn't referring to you. True there are a lot of teams in the mix but coach savino and Cronin have had a lot of success in the northeast recruiting and the Lawrence connection only helps us here. I would agree Syracuse is the favorite but like u said he's open to any program and anyone here has a chance.

There has been plenty of indication that he is a Syracuse lean.

Indication from recruiting experts isn't always a good thing to go by. Yes Syracuse is going to be hard to beat but like I said before until Diagne comes out and comments on his top schools I'm going to reserve judgement.
