Canadian Transfer Ismael Diouf is on Campus and Ready to Roll

Back on June 24th, NC State landed a massive pickup when Canadian Forward Ismael Diouf (6’9″/215) transferred to run with the Wolfpack. I have confirmed with a source that Diouf is on campus, enrolled for classes, and will start Monday.

There was never any concern here. Diouf’s delay in arrival was simply a matter of processing paperwork.

Diouf played collegiate ball at Laval in Quebec City.

This past season, Diouf averaged 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds for Laval, and then went on to average 18.3 points and 11.7 rebounds in the Final 8 Tournament, where the Victors won the National Championship. Diouf earned the MVP title in the Tournament.

Wolfpack Assistant Coach Levi Watkins ran point on Diouf’s recruitment.

Diouf has 2-years of eligibility remaining. He was the #1 Draft Pick this year in CEBL, but didn’t sign with the team, making him eligible to still play college ball.

According to a source, the staff believes Diouf is very talented, and will play and contribute this season.
