Syracuse basketball recruiting: SU reportedly offers 2017 guard Hamidou Diallo

Syracuse has offered Class of 2017, five-star guard Hamidou Diallo, SNY.tv’s Adam Zagoria reported on Wednesday morning.

Diallo has also been offered by Kansas, Florida, Villanova, Louisville and UConn, among others, according to Zagoria. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 17.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game last season for Bowne (New York) High School. In the offseason, Diallo transferred to Putnam (Connecticut) Science Academy. Scout.com ranks Diallo as the 15th-best player in the Class of 2017 and the second-best shooting guard in the class.

SU has offered eight players in the Class of 2017, including two guards, Trevon Duval and Quade Green, per Scout. Duval and Green are ranked as the third- and 41st-best players in the Class of 2017, respectively, but both are listed as point guards.
