A trash recruiting tactic is hiring a guys dad, like Washington did for Porter and how Mizzou just did for the same guy. So obvious and it's so shady. I hate it.

Agreed. Simply should not be allowed. Unfortunately, Diarra probably isn't going to have much control on where he lands.

Mamaoudou is a very common East African name for Muhammad I believe. Not sure about Diarra, but it seems to be relatively common as we see here lol.

If I'm him, I come here not UCONN. You don't want to just be another Diarra on the team . They would always compare the 2. LOL

IMO, Mizzou is the favorite since that's where UW's coach went. Who knows how loyal Diarra is to him or if it was UW( hard to believe UW since, you know, he decommitted).

Others have said they are not impressed with his offensive game. I'd really like to see players coming in with a defined offensive game, besides bigs like Nsoseme. Our recruiting seems to be doing this, don't want a guy coming in comparable to Shaq Thomas.

If you want to do that for 1 guy, I say go for it. Most of the time it seems like the team flops.

I definetly wouldn't hire someone for this guy. If it was wiggins or John wall. I have no problem with it if it's my team

Didn't UConn hire one of his handlers as an assistant? If so, wouldn't it seem he is almost a lock to end up at UConn?

Yes but there is an exodus of players and recruits leaving UCONN and decommiting right now so something may be up there. I'd say Mizzou is the favorite. UCONN lost a top 100 guy today. This smells of NCAA coming down on them soon.
