Moustapha Diagne, Class of 2015 signee, will not enroll at Syracuse

Former Class of 2015 commit Moustapha Diagne will not enroll at Syracuse, but will attend a two-year school, an SU spokesman confirmed. The news was first reported by Syracuse.com.

Diagne was part of a class Jim Boeheim reportedly said would be the best recruiting class Syracuse has ever had. The rest of the class includes forward Tyler Lydon and guards Malachi Richardson and Frank Howard, ranked 69th, 29th and 86th by Scout.com, respectively, in the Class of 2015. Diagne was ranked 82nd in the Class of 2015.

The Orange currently has two scholarship players that could play center, DaJuan Coleman and Chinonso Obokoh, and Diagne was thought to also have a chance to play center. SU also has 7-foot-2-inch Providence transfer Paschal Chukwu under scholarship but because of transfer rules, he will have to sit out a year.

Diagne had been visiting his family in Senegal for the first time since 2012, David Wilder, his host father, told Scout.com in early July. At the time Wilder also added that Diagne fully expected to be on campus.
