WKU Basketball: Moustapha Diagne Cleared By NCAA

It appears the Tops are at full capacity.

It appears the Tops are at full capacity.

Just over 24 hours ahead of WKU’s showdown with Old Dominion to open their week, CBS Sports and FanRag’s Jon Rotstein dropped this fun nugget for everyone.

Moments after Rothstein tweeted this out, WKU confirmed the reports.

Diagne announced he’d be coming to WKU back in August of 2016. He attended high school in Sparta, New Jersey and played at Northwest Florida Junior College during the 2015–16 season, averaging 10.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

This should complete the puzzle for WKU, and will mark back to back games with a season debut if Rothstein’s reporting is true. He’s a 6'9" forward who should contribute immediately and will allow for rest for Justin Johnson and help Dwight Coleby not accumulate so many fouls.
