The good times just keep rolling at Crisler for Juwan Howard and company as they have put the cherry on top of the #1 recruiting class in the country with the commitment of French international and 2021 IMG Academy (FL) five-star PF Moussa Diabate.
Commitment
Scouting Report
Hard-working, athletic, French stretch forward that fits today’s game perfectly. He’s another guy that can match up with multiple positions on the defensive end and has paint-to-perimeter versatility on the offensive end. He can be a force on the boards and as a shot blocker. That effort level and his playing style should win over the fans quickly as he gets plenty of immediate playing time.
Like Caleb Houstan, he’s a guy that will step on campus and be one of the top players on the team. One and done is something to watch though it doesn’t seem to be a for sure deal. Getting him to sign with Michigan will need to come first, as we’ve all seen how difficult it can be to get five-stars enrolled (ex: Isaiah Todd).
