Michigan gets surprise commitment from five-star big Moussa Diabate

The Michigan Wolverines have added to the No. 1 recruiting class in college basketball in 2021, landing the services of five-star big man Moussa Diabate. This is a stunning announcement and there was no indication that this was coming, but here it is.

Diabate is the No. 20 player in the 2021 class and is the sixth-ranked power forward, per the 247Sports composite rankings. At 6-foot-10, 215 pounds, he fills the need that Michigan sorely needed in the paint in this class.

247Sports’ Jerry Meyer compares him to Gani Lawal of Georgia Tech fame:

Long arms at 6-9.
