4-star seven-footer Adrame Diongue commits to Washington State

Four-star center Adrame Diongue of Arizona Compass Prep has committed to Washington State, he told On3.

Diongue — a seven-foot West African native — chose the Cougars over offers from UNLV, Kansas, Texas Tech, and others.

“I decided to commit to Washington State because they have a great program and know how to develop players like myself,” Diongue said to On3. “The offensive style they play along with their tough defense makes me feel I could really fit in and help the team. They’ve also been recruiting me for over a year now. The coaching staff and head coach (Kyle) Smith have been tremendous from the start.”

Diongue is ranked as the No. 63 prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. 

Diongue, who’s only been playing basketball for three years, recently described his game to On3’s Jamie Shaw.

“I run the floor well, grab rebounds and block everything,” he said. “I’m reading the game better now and showing more on offense. I watch Kevin Garnett, the way he tries to dunk the ball every time he touches it; I’m trying to do that…I grew up playing soccer. Soccer helped me with being able to get up and down the floor and with my quickness and defense.”

Scouting Report

“There is something about a player who continues to improve each time they step on the floor. Adrame Diongue is like a blank canvas right now, and all the tools are available. Diongue has good size and length; he is extremely mobile, with excellent timing. The 7-footer has touch from the free-throw line and is developing a face-up game. He will need to continue getting stronger and working on his offensive repertoire, but the strides he continues to make in only three years are very promising with a big upside.” – Jamie Shaw, On3’s National Recruiting Analyst
