Freshman Cheick Diallo still awaiting NCAA clearance to play basketball at KU
Posted Aug 5, 2015
The day Cheick Diallo signed with Kansas, Bill Self called it a “huge day” for his basketball program. Diallo, a 6-foot-9 McDonald’s All-American, was the inside presence that Self sought, a centerpiece of a three-man recruiting class that could help the Jayhawks take the next step after consecutive early NCAA Tournament losses. More than three months later, though, Diallo has yet to be cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center, formerly known as the NCAA Clearinghouse.
