We've all agreed that we need another ball handler on this team.

Rahsool Diggins would be a home run for this team. Only 1 year in his career but was a top 60 recruit by ESPN, Rivals, and 247. Let's definitely do our best as fans to get him to come to UMass!

Would make up for losing Craig Austrie to those douchebags!

This is what was said about him coming out of high school. I agree that this would be a home run.
A member of the Team Final summer program, Diggins is a slick ball handler and a clever scorer off the dribble. He's got a wiry strong frame, is a sneaky good athlete and can keep defenders off balance with his shooting.

"I see me playing a lead guard role," said Diggins. "Have the ball in my hands and compete both ends of the floor."

A four-star prospect, Diggins ranks No. 41 overall nationally in the 2021 Rivals150 and No. 6 at the point guard position.

I heard he looked terrible at UConn and was outmatched practices.

With all due respect have you looked at his #'s from last year? I am sure he could make some kind of impact at UMass but he came out of HS as a small guard that can't shoot....

We're acting like freshmen should automatically shine and play heavy minutes for a top 25 ranked team? Freshmen year is very often a building & learning curve; stats don't mean everything.

And yes, I'm with Niles.. what is the source for such a comment.

He didn't receive offers from Villanova, Kansas, Florida for no reason.

It's possible that he looked terrible and was outmatched in practices, but also still has potential and can be an impact player elsewhere. Believe it or not, both these things can be true.

I am not acting like anything. I asked if he looked at his stats.
