We all know Hamidou Diallo’s journey during his time at UK, but few know just how much Hami has worked to get to where he is now. His journey is truly inspiring and I couldn’t be happier for the kid from Queens.
Before we dive into Hami’s background, we need to talk about how things played out when he was at Kentucky. After he decided to join the 2016 Kentucky roster, Hami chose to test the draft waters, even though he never saw a minute of playing time.
He told himself that if he didn’t get a top 20 guarantee, he’d come back to UK.
