A five-star prospect in the 2017 class, Diallo graduated high school early and enrolled at Kentucky in January. He didn't play in any games, though, and redshirted the spring semester. He will suit up as a freshman in the fall.

He sure milked it all he could. I think it's funny, that once he announced his return, he made mention that he couldn't wait to put on a UK jersey and play for UK and that how one of his dream goals was to play at a top college and win a national championship.....If that's the case then why did you wait until the very last second to state that your coming back? Hell why even attempt to go to the NBA if you wanted to play college ball?

I agree with what you are saying.

But if somebody offered me a guaranteed NBA contract of 7 or 8 figures, my dreams would change.

As Ted DiBiase said "Everybody's got a price...."

It has to do with money and that's all. I'm sure he would love to play for a great college team, but money wins every time. Plus the fact he's still maturing somewhat. All that attention at that age would be a lot of fun. I really don't have a problem with how he did, I'm glad to see him back, but would have been fine if he decided to go the other way as well.
