Virginia commitment Mamadi Diakite was a major grab for the Cavaliers as they now try to sort out when they’ll get the four-star forward in school.
It’s been widely discussed that the 6-foot-9 Diakite could potentially reclassify and join the Class of 2015 at Virginia and it’s still an option, according to a report from Doug Doughty of the Roanoke Times. Classes started nine days ago at Virginia, but Diakite is still hoping to get into college this year. Diakite had enough transcripts to graduate Blue Ridge in 2015, but his transcripts required translation from his native French.
