Hamidou Diallo is an athlete in every since of the word. At 6’5″, 190 pounds, Mark Stoops could throw some shoulder pads over Diallo’s head and put him into the defensive backfield with Chris Westry and Derrick Baity. However, Hamidou Diallo doesn’t play football, he plays basketball. But the redshirt freshman does not deserve a starting spot currently on the Kentucky basketball team.
When Hami first came to UK during mid-season of last year, there was a lot of speculation surrounding whether or not he’d ever play a game for Kentucky basketball.
