North Carolina.

While Diarra's future is already secure with the Huskies, Diallo, who ranks No. 19 in the Class of 2017, has seen his popularity soar in recent months. Diallo jumped up 19 spots in the Class of 2017 after his season at Putnam Science Academy and offseason work.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard and Diarra, who will be a graduate student and join UConn in 2016, were expected to play next fall at Woodstock Academy, but since PSA is keeping its program, they will return there to play for coach Tom Espinosa.
"If I was to commit right now I would say it would be UConn because that's the school showing me the most love," said Diallo back in May when Diarra announced his plan to attend UConn. "I have a relationship with the head coach (Kevin Ollie) and I've been up there a several times."
The Huskies have Diallo high on their radar right now, but the list seems to grow larger each day. Also in the mix are Minnesota, Kansas, West Virginia, Iowa State, Providence, USC and Wake Forest. Maryland, Louisville, Indiana and St. John's have also picked up interest in Diallo, who could reclassify to Class of 2016 depending on how his season goes.
Diallo is expected to go up against Class of 2016 shooting guard Markelle Fultz, who ranks No. 23, on Wednesday night when the camp is open to college coaches and the public. The 6-foot-4 Fultz at one point was linked to UConn, but the Huskies appear to have cooled on him in recent months.
UConn Report will be on hand for the camp, which runs through the end of the week.
