NC State picked up their 5th transfer today. Mohamed Diarra (6’10″/215) committed to run with the Wolfpack today while in Raleigh on an Official Visit.
Diarra originally spent his first two seasons at Garden City Community College, averaging 17.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game in his second season. He landed at Missouri last year, after being rated as the #1 JUCO prospect in the 2022 class according to JucoRecruiting.com.
In his only season at Missouri, Diarra averaged 11.7 minutes per game in 25 games played (6 starts), averaging 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds. Because of the extra year due to Covid, Diarra has 2 years of eligibility remaining.
With news breaking today that Dusan Mahorcic entered the Transfer Portal, the Wolfpack found his replacement. NC State’s frontcourt in 2023-24 currently will be made up of D.J. Burns, Ben Middlebrooks, Mohamed Diarra and Ernest Ross.
Check out these highlights of Diarra.
There is a lot to like in Diarra’s game. He is athletic, can hit a jump shot, put the ball on the floor, can play defense on the perimeter, block shots, and is an aggressive rebounder.
blow000 Thank you for your comments. I will take your suggestion and not reply until there is something positive to discuss.
If the NCSU athletic dept. followed your recommendations they would have a new coach and and A.D. every two years, and little respect from any viable candidates as the years tick by. Coach K,’s, Calipari’s, and Izzo’s don’t grow on trees. I understand your frustrations, but challenge you to post a positive comment every once and while, as all the negative ones become exhausting. Just like that annoying fan that sits behind you at the game and bitches the whole time. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
gopack wolfpack74 Sweet sixteen, big deal.
WolfpackBack gopack wolfpack74 That is completely wrong. I get angry, upset, and frustrated, then I blow everything out of proportion.
gopack wolfpack74 Don’t worry about ‘ol wolfpack74. He blows everything out of proportion and then gets very angry and upset.
wolfpack74 Are you serious? I think you are being a little dramatic by saying this is worse than lowe or sendek. Although Gottfried has lost some talent to transfers, the last time I checked State has been to 4 ncaa tournaments in a row and two sweet 16s….I’d say rock bottom is a little harsh.
I have mixed feelings about Kyle leaving. He was so disruptive to the offense most of the season with quick shots and at times became a black hole. On the other hand, he made some huge shots down the stretch in limited minutes that can’t be ignored. I don’t know how many times I was yelling at the TV “no, no, no, yes”. I’m pretty sure I owe him for at least a couple of gray hairs. Kyle’s absence will likely be felt more next season due to the loss in scoring of Lacey/Turner. I imagine that Cat can score… Read more »
ThatWiggaJigga The word is obtuse.
All quiet on the Eastern Front. Twitter has been quiet today. No news is good news.
^you are probably the most annoying fan I’ve ever met
There are probably 100 Freemans available out there. Let Gott go get them so we can hit rock bottom.
