If Diane does come to UH, he will be coached in basketball and strength and conditioning, which includes eating properly. At the end of the day, it will be up to Diane to demonstrate the motivation and discipline to get better. All we know at this point is if he chooses UH, he will be given the tools to succeed.

Arafan Diane and Bryson Howard in 2026-27 season at UH…

I saw a Bryson Howard quote a couple of weeks ago that makes me think that he would rather go to a blue school.
I read that Arafan’s hs coach is Mark Pope’s bro-in-law. Glad we got him here the October weekend instead of having him in Lex for big blue madness that weekend. Dude seems like such a great fit for our culture and team.

Arafan and Aziz taking Official Visits at the same time, I wonder if anyone else will join them.

I truly see Diane (handlers love UH & CKS) & Olajuwon (for obvious reasons) as the surest bets for '26.
If coach lands either Howard (who has a visit set up in the Fall) or Holt who @Joprior23 has mentioned and i trust him as a source (Holt has 3 visits set up so far, no Houston visit as i write this) as the 3rd player, i think he’ll be happy.
Aziz and Diane coming together. That could be a huge weekend.

What’s the news on C. Holt - have he (or we) cooled on him?
Jamie Shaw predictions on Caleb Holt & Arafan Diane
From his article, it sounds like we’re not a threat for Holt. Alabama his current prediction. With Auburn, Kentucky in the mix

If Diane comes to UH he is gonna be a one and done top 5 pick.
He has the skills and size to become an absolute beast with UH coaching and conditioning.

Rivals updated rankings: Houston targets
Arafan Diane no.9
Bryson Howard no.11
Both would be starters. Young Olajuwon no.104 would be a fringe rotation piece/red shirt candidate in his freshman year.

Are they not still recruiting Caleb Holt?
