Coach's Comments: Pape has good ball skills for a young player his size. Though he still needs to add some weight and strength, he will contribute greatly to our team because he can play all 5 positions for us if necessary. He has added about 15 pounds since last year and has worked hard on his game during the off-season. With his skill set and basketball IQ, he could be in the top 5 of every statistical category for us this year.


NEWS & NOTABLES

September 2011 (from FloridaHoops.com) -NTF Workout - Pape Diatta (Rock School), 2014, F, 6'7 - One of the bigger players in attendance on Sunday, Diatta is an active, mobile forward who competed on the glass.  He has the ability to put the ball on the floor for a couple bounces and attack slower defenders.  The sophomore has good hands and is a prospect to keep an eye on.

September 2011 (from SourceHoops.com) -NTF Workout - Pape Diatta – 2014 6’6 WF – Gainesville The Rock School: Diatta had a solid, all-around game on Sunday morning.  He rebounded at a high rate, scored inside, and proved to be a solid ball-handler.  He needs to continue to work on increasing the range of his jumper as well as not float too much out on the perimeter. 

September 2011 (from Rivals.com) -NTF Workout - Pape Diatta, (2014)- On one hand, there just weren't very many big guys on the floor Sunday. On the other, the few that were out there didn't get a lot of touches. That's why it was easy to like the play of the 6-foot-7 sophomore. He competed for rebounds, showed pretty good hands and did the most he could with few touches offensively.
