This should probably be in the recruiting forum, but no matter. He is now a "member of the family".
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Hamidou Diallo, widely considered the top shooting guard in the class of 2017, has signed a financial aid agreement with the Kentucky men’s basketball team and is enrolled in classes. He began his first semester at the University of Kentucky on Wednesday for the spring term after graduating in May from the Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut.

The Cats got a good one and can't wait to how good he really is.
So what are the Wildcats getting in Diallo?
Arguably his biggest strengths are his overall athleticism and physical features. Diallo is a bouncy athlete that moves fluidly and gets off the ground quickly. His measurements are impressive as well, as he is pushing 6-foot-6, has been measured with a 6-10 1/2 wingspan, and has a standing reach of 8-7.
At this stage, Diallo excels in transition and open space, where he can attack the basket and finish at the rim. Diallo has a quick first step and because of his athletic gifts, he’s certainly capable of highlight-reel dunks. He’s also a strong, physical wing that makes aggressive drives to the rim. Once there, he’s a good finisher.
Overall, Kentucky is getting a special talent in Diallo. He was regarded as the No. 1 shooting guard and the No. 10 overall prospect in the 2017 class rankings, but he may be better than that current ranking.
