Elhadji Diallo was offered by Rutgers basketball in late August, adding another big-time offer to what is starting to become an impressive recruitment.

A 6-foot-7 at Combine Academy (Lincolnton, North Carolina), Diallo is a class of 2026 recruit with some impressive upside. His Rutgers offer sees them join a recruitment that already includes Mississippi State, Old Dominion and Wichita State.

Defensively, he is a very strong rebounder and is an intimidating presence in terms of blocking shots:

In their initial ranking of the class of 2026, recruiting site On3 ranked Diallo among the top 50 players in the nation.

Rutgers basketball currently has the second-best recruiting class in the nation for the class of 2024.
