The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team is still waiting on the eligibility decision regarding four-star forward Mamadi Diakite. Per Doug Doughty of the Roanoke Times, Diakite is considering re-classifying up from the Class of 2016 up to 2015 even though classes have already started in Charlottesville.
Diakite has already graduated from the Blue Ridge School in St. George, Virginia, but also has transcripts from other schools in his home country of Guinea, in western Africa. If he does enroll this year, a redshirt is likely so he can further adjust to the collegiate level.
