    Class of 2024 five-star point guard Zoom Diallo is down to four schools: Arizona, Gonzaga, USC and Washington, per Dushawn London of 247Sports. The point guard is also reportedly closing in on his decision.

    “I’m in final decision making mode,” Diallo said to 247Sports. “I’m starting to narrow it down little by little and getting closer and closer to a decision. That’s what’s going on.”

    Diallo — the 6-foot-4, 190-pound point guard from Prolific Prep (CA) and the Beachamp Elite AAU program — has visited each of his final schools. Diallo could still possibly sign in the early period.

    “As of right now I just plan on making my decision and if it’s even close to this signing period then I’ll sign,” Diallo said to 247Sports. “If not I’ll sign at the next one. I’m just trying to make the decision.”

    Diallo is ranked the No. 19 overall prospect in the nation and the No. 1 overall point guard by 247Sports.

    Here is what Diallo said of each of his final schools, via 247Sports:

    Arizona: “I have a good relationship with coach [Tommy] Lloyd. He’s starting to have a winning program and they’ve been doing a good job recruiting me for the last two years. I’m all in on loyalty and respect them for recruiting me very hard. I also went to a game to watch them and see them play so that was pretty good.”

    Gonzaga: “They’re another hometown school that’s a national powerhouse known for winning. They have a history of producing pros so why not.”

    USC: “They really been on me and have the potential of Isaiah (Collier) leaving. They’ve been telling me they want me to come in and be the lead guard so that’s why they’re on my board.”

    Washington: “They’re the Hometown school. They’ve been recruiting me since my freshman year, I’m big on loyalty and they’ve always seen something in me.”
