Hamidou Diallo Visits ASU

A parade of high-major coaches has come through Putnam (CT) Science Academy in recent weeks to recruit Hamidou Diallo, maybe the most explosive player in the Class of 2017.
UConn’s Kevin Ollie, UNLV’s Marvin Menzies and Arizona’s Sean Miller were all in this week, while Indiana’s Tom Crean, Kentucky’s John Calipari, Kansas’ Bill Self and assistants from Syracuse and Arizona State have all been through recently.
The 6-foot-6 Queens, N.Y., native has yet to set any official visits, but will take an unofficial visit to Syracuse this weekend, a source said.
“He’s still taking it slow, day-by-day,” Putnam head coach Tom Espinosa said by phone. “He still hasn’t really cut a list or anything. There’s not tons and tons of schools recruiting him at this point, maybe between 7-10 schools that are really recruiting him now. But he’s still planning on making the decision later on.”
