Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Cheick Diallo, a 6-9 2015 forward/center from Team Scan, has added offers from Louisville and Kansas.
He previously held offers from St. John’s, Pitt, UConn, Syracuse, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Iowa State, Texas, Arizona, Oregon, UNLV and Providence.
“Cheick is a long and athletic power forward,” Our Savior New American assistant coach Erik Jaklitsch told SNY.tv.
“He runs the floor like a gazelle and his motor is non-stop. I would say the new thing that college coaches look for in kids are ‘motors’ and he has one of the best out there. He’s a great rebounder and his offensive game has developed greatly. He has become better, more efficient and patient with his post game.”
