St. John’s-commit Boubacar Diakite, a 6-foot-8 wing forward in the class of 2018, will spend the 2017-2018 season on campus as a member of the Red Storm after enrolling early and reclassifying. The news was reported Monday afternoon by Andrew Slater of 247Sports.com.
Diakite, a four-star wing prospect out of Our Savior New American School in Centereach, N.Y., announced his commitment to St. John’s last June. After receiving an offer from the Red Storm last February, Diakite participated in the team’s Elite Came days before making his commitment official.
Diakite follows a line of former and current Red Storm players who have come out of Our Savior New American.
