Guys, I just got off the phone with Brewster Academy (NH) four-star small forward Alpha Diallo, No. 110 in the Rivals150. VT just offered him Thursday, since Jalen Hudson's spot has opened up.

Diallo just took an official visit this weekend to Providence. He visited VCU on an official Oct. 23. That one seems to have cooled a bit. Originally from New York City, I think Diallo likes the prospect of playing close to home and in the Big East. He really likes coach Ed Cooley, the main one recruiting him there. Diallo was at the Frairs' team banquet and said he liked the 'vibe' he got there.

I honestly think the Hokies might have gotten in on this one too late. Diallo said he likes the playing style they have and the location, in the ACC, but he didn't want to say anything about coach Buzz Williams. I prefaced our interview saying we wouldn't talk about anything he didn't want to and when I asked him about Buzz, Diallo told me, "I don’t really wanna say. I’ll just say what we’ve talked about."

Diallo is visiting Florida April 25 and if that one goes well, I think he could end up there. Providence is the other favorite of course, since he just came off a positive visit there. It sounds like VT could sneak in with a visit over the next few weeks, but at this point, they have to hope his Florida visit doesn't blow him away.
