Western Ky also just landed an interesting player...who some reports say already 23 years old (he looks much older, although he has been able to produce a passport saying he's 21) and rated TOP 100 (ESPN has him at #48 )
A kid named Moustapha Diagne...a HIGHLY rated Senegalese big man who completed high school in New Jersey, had impressive numbers, dominated in AAU and had signed a LOI to Syracuse (Syracuse, btw, has an interesting history of taking ineligible foreign kids and CHEATING & committing fraud just to get them on the court)
But he backed out (with rumors of academic issues or transcript issues)
and went to juco (NW Florida) where he played one season and averaged 10 ppg & 7 rpg
He entered the NBA draft, then withdrew. Juco rules then prevented him from returning and playing in juco - so then he looked to get back into college.
But he's a non-qualifer without a juco degree.
However - Western Kentucky found a way - and Diagne will pay his own way at WKU and sit out 2016-17 and then after "one year in residence" at WKU - will potentially have 3 years left to play there.
