Cheick Diallo Commits to Kansas

The 2015 Iowa State target chose Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks this afternoon.

Iowa State prep target Cheick Diallo, ranked 4th overall in the Class of 2015 by 247Sports, has committed to the Kansas Jayhawks, according to his high school coach and ESPN's Paul Biancardi.

Diallo, whose announcement was expected to come at least by tomorrow, selected Kansas over Kentucky, Iowa State, Pittsburgh and hometown St. John's.

Diallo went on to tell Biancardi, "I can earn playing time right away. I played against Joel Embiid in high school and watched his development. I need to work on a lot of things and feel coach [Bill] Self can help my game.
