Big commitment and can tell this staff might actually care about defense and rebounding. Hopefully we get Terrell too but honestly just getting Diallo is better than I expected after JC was hired.

This news is definitely less exciting than it would have been if Jeremy Miller didn't decommit yesterday.

Wait so we wouldn't be more excited about this if we had Diallo this year and Miller next? Seriously?

I don't know, i guess so. But didn't you get it out of your system with your series of LOUD NOISES posts yesterday?

Diallo is an athletic big who should make up for a lot of defensive and athleticism shortcomings elsewhere on the roster pretty much immediately. He is more or less the definition of a position of need. With one or two more additions I can see next year being watchable basketball, which makes a huge difference in the big 2015 class.

His commitment shows that some combination of Christian and the staff are being taken seriously, which is a nice change.

Diallo as 2014 guy also helps to avoid roster imbalance in perpetuity.

Now go get Terrell (the murphy tweet about patience right after the diallo announcement seems like it could be directed to terrell maybe - like saying told you were not Donahue)

This kid is a real big man. Miller is not. Miller is a good shooter for a PF. Done with that bullshit, give me some toughness.

Diallo is a fantastic commit. Fills a huge need.

Land Terrell and we can become very good quickly.

The Vegas folks are busy establishing the line on how long it will be before he, too, recognizes his error and transfers out.
BC once attracted stars like Abrams, Adams, Agbai, Austin, Bagley, Barros, Bell, Curley, Driscoll, Dudley, Eisley, Evans, Huckaby, Jackson, McCready, Murphy, O'Brien, Rice, Smith, Williams, et al.

Those days are gone.

And who is responsible for that?

Your program hired the guy responsible for UConns post season suspension as recruiting coordinator. Now the pipers come calling.

I'm not saying this kid is bad or anything. I think it's a great pickup.

It's time for BC to build around some size in the front court. And personally I absolutely love the fact that he is a defensive first player. We need that.

But like I said, this would be much better if we still had Miller in the fold. It's not like we have 6'9" forwards out the wazoo on this current roster.

This is why we went out and added Preston Murphy to the staff. He is one of the best recruiters out there. Congrats to Coach Jim Christian and the BC staff.

Calling Miller a forward is laugh out loud funny. He's a forward like JJ Reddick is a forward.

I wasn't on the board for the "OMG... Miller decommitted" harikari. I found out Miller decommitted and Diallo committed simultaneously when I checked the board this evening. Anyone who is tempering their excitement about Diallo is a bloody vagina. Landing Diallo is the craziest recruiting coup in a generation. Diallo is a sick, sick, sick player. His height and athleticism has him on target for the Association. Fucking enjoy it folks. A legit Center to build around is something that rarely comes along.

Terrell and Miller are excellent talents and would be huge for the program, but there are a shit-ton more players like them than there are Diallo. Diallo is a "game changer" in every definition of that over-used word.

While Southern was a big time prospect, watching 5-seconds of YouTube highlights shows they are very different players. Diallo is a bulked-up version of **** ********.

I've never once seen the kid play, I'm sure you haven't either.

Just saying that to dismiss that type of player is ridiculous.
