Four-Star PG Zoom Diallo commits to Washington

Zoom Diallo, one of the top point guards in the country, has decided to stay home and attend the University of Washington, he told On3.

The 6-foot-4 senior and Tacoma native chose the Huskies over Gonzaga, USC, and Arizona.

Diallo, the No. 3 point guard and the No. 25 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings, discussed his decision to choose UW.

“I chose UW because of my trust in the coaching staff to let me play through my mistakes,” Diallo said to On3. “I felt like the player development stood out with Coach (Will) Conroy’s experience with being in the league.”

Diallo’s relationship with the coaching staff played a significant role in his decision.

“My relationship has been great with the staff. They’ve been recruiting me since my freshman year and it’s only going to grow.”

The hometown kid has a message for Washington fans.

“Let’s Put UW Back On the Map Where it Should Be! #GoDawgs”

Diallo becomes Washington’s second addition to their 2024 recruiting class, joining three-star PG Casmir Chavis (No. 123 overall).

Scouting Report

“Zoom Diallo is a physically developed point guard with good length and broad shoulders. He plays with a confidence on the ball and at his own pace. He is capable of getting into the paint and finishing through contact. Uses a crafty change of pace with a hard dribble. In viewings, Diallo has seemed most comfortable as a score-first lead guard. Diallo can be a slick passer, sneaking passes into tight spaces at times. He does have range as a jump shooter, looking most comfortable off the bounce. He needs to reign in his shot selection. Much of his offense can be all the way at the rim or off-balanced beyond the arc. Will sometimes opt for a tough shot over the right read. Has a good change of pace which enhances his first step.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

Diallo’s NIL Valuation worth over $100K

Zoom Diallo currently holds a $113,000 On3 NIL Valuation, which ranks 55th in high school basketball.

The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.
