Elhadji Diallo was offered by Rutgers basketball in late August, adding another big-time offer to what is starting to become an impressive recruitment.
A 6-foot-7 at Combine Academy (Lincolnton, North Carolina), Diallo is a class of 2026 recruit with some impressive upside. His Rutgers offer sees them join a recruitment that already includes Mississippi State, Old Dominion and Wichita State.
Diallo is still developing physically but also in terms of refining his game. What he does have, however, is loads of potential as well as a strong work ethic.
In the post, Diallo is nearly unstoppable. He uses his frame and length very well to create advantages for easy points. In the open court, he shows some serious flashes of being unstoppable in getting to the basket.

Defensively, he is a very strong rebounder and is an intimidating presence in terms of blocking shots:
