When one of the nation’s elite high school basketball prospects waits until late in the spring of his senior year to pick his future hoops home, the whole college basketball world takes notice.
Such was the case Tuesday, when Cheick Diallo tweeted out his decision to commit to Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.
From college basketball reporters and analysts, to current and former Jayhawks, the news piqued the interest of many in the Twitterverse.
Here are some of the many reactions and story links:
Kansas just landed Cheick Diallo — who is a big-time interior presence. Plays with a high motor and is exactly what Jayhawks needed.

Just got back from a run. Huge news for Kansas getting 6-9 Cheick Diallo. He's raw offensively but no denying his physical presence.

Thing I love about Cheick Diallo to Kansas is how he fits in that frontcourt. Ideal complement to polished but below-the-rim Perry Ellis.
