Hamidou Diallo has still yet to play a game for the Wildcats but he's already hit his first buzzer beater.

With just minutes to spare before the 11:59 PM deadline, Diallo announced that he has withdrawn his name from the NBA Draft and will return to Kentucky next season.

Diallo (6-5, 197) is ranked as the top shooting guard and No. 9 overall prospect in the 2017 class by the industry-average 247Sports Composite. He is Kentucky's highest-ranked incoming recruit and gives John Calipari seven of the top 29 prospects for this recruiting cycle.

After a stellar athletic showing at the NBA Draft Combine, where he posted the highest max vertical jump of 44.5 inches, along with a 6'11 ¼" wingspan, Diallo was projected as a late first, early second round pick.
