Remember what Bossi said after summer AAU evals:
knbpto8xhgrosyfiqhbt&key=559a161d6d18766c66b488686a66804cc4a61f82eb96df5e215a6fa112c7cc53   Why he was one of my best: Diarra makes himself an easy pick for columns like this because he plays with virtually unmatched intensity and motor. Pretty much every time I walk away from watching him play I feel like he competed like his life was on the line. He's going to be a tremendous college defender and keeps getting better offensively.
 

Sure hope we have tapped into some notable alumnus for help on this one.

I think I’d take Hassan and Dawson today and call the 2020 class done. I think we’re going to like the shift in recruiting to players who compete their faces off a lot.

Agreed. Then Go hard on Lander and Kaufman

It would be refreshing to watch a team no matter what win or go down swinging vs these teams we’ve had over the last 4 years

Absolutely- The last few years I haven't always gotten the vibe that the players cared as much as I do. Maybe it's the "laid back" personality of several key players, but there were many times the team seemed indifferent.

When I read the story about Diarra getting gashed over the eye, getting stitches in the locker room, and coming back to lead a late comeback win, in a HS game for God’s sake, yeah, that’s all I really needed to know. There have been some tough, competitive kids that have rolled through the program,  but when was the last time the toughest, most competitive, bad*** kid on the floor every night was an IU kid? The kid who just imposed his will on the game. Maybe Coverdale?  Everything about this kid just screams that to me. Love him.

DJ White?

Would you like one million dollars and a cake with that perfect recruiting class?

You’re damn right we’d take that! I’d think that would be good enough for a top 5 class without looking into it at all, and would create some incredible roster balance going into 2021 recruiting.

Here’s to hoping you get your wish! We could probably at least get you the cake if the recruits don’t pan out.

Marquette is strong with Garcia because he has visited them the most. IU, North Carolina and Marquette are the 3 teams that are in best position according to some. Get him on an official and go from there. Georgia has been on Diarra the longest. He is on an official there this week. If he doesn’t commit and makes it his IU official next week I like IU’s chances. Texas A&M could be strong with him as well

Well with the way we seem to stretch out injury recoveries here -had that play occurred at IU he would have come out of the locker room in a walking boot and in concussion protocol for 4 weeks.
