hhcmatt Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Nebraska finally fills that 12th scholarship with the commitment of Matar Diop and it's with the sort of dude you'd want at this point of the game...big, has some ups, can make some outside shots, is a little raw. Diop, from Dakar, Senegal, spent two years at NBA Academy Africa prior to a yea at Keystone Athletic Academy in Erie, PA. Footage before he started school in the US. Under the radar recruit in a sense (i blame twitter) because we offered on July 11th and no one in Husker twitter seemed to pick up on it View full article Five and Chuck Taylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalfan Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 This was awesome to hear this afternoon. This is more than I would have dreamed of at this point. Love that he has only been playing for 6 years with athletic ability. Those types can really figure it out at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busticket Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Man he looks like a helluva get for a late pickup. Love how fluid and athletic he is. Looks like he had offers from ASU, Pitt and Seton Hall so other teams saw something there too. Swan88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrasher31 Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 If y'all get a chance, give this a watch. Gives good perspective on his journey and how he plays. Also, based on the thumbnail he did take a visit. No one locally knew though, which is kind cool. Art Vandalay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned from past experience: Make sure he took the correct English proficiency exam and that you uploaded the results to the necessary eligibility body.

Fullbacksympathy Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Great pickup. D1 ready muscle and great athleticism. Don’t know if his three point threat is legit but if he’s serviceable on that end he could really help us. Defensively there’s no reason he can’t be elite.

I'd say Dedoch at 1, and currently ET and Thor stand at 10, but rescaling is always an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
