While he will be on the roster in the spring, Diallo will not play with the team.
Hamidou Diallo does not plan to play next semester at Kentucky, per sources. Will workout with the team, but not play games.

That should give him an advantage on earning some playing time next season though and get him to proper playing size in the weight room.
