West Orange, N.J. — Moustapha Diagne, a highly-rated prospect in the Class of 2015, announced Saturday that he would attend Syracuse University.

Diagne made his announcement after playing in the Mary Kline Classic at West Orange (N.J.) High School.

"I feel comfortable with Syracuse,'' Diagne said. "They've got a good basketball program. It's a good school and they've got a good basketball program. I can get a good education.'' Diagne, a native of Senegal, had drawn scholarship offers from Kansas, Florida, Connecticut, Cincinnati, Villanova, West Virginia and many other schools, but he had recently trimmed his final list to Syracuse and Memphis.

"Today was the best day for me to decide,'' Diagne said, adding that he had made up his mind about two weeks ago. "It was a long process.''

A 6-foot-9 forward from Pope John XXIII High School in Sparta, N.J., Diagne is ranked 24th in the 2015 class by Scout.com and 29th by ESPN.com.

The Mary Kline Classic features an underclassmen game and a senior game with some of the best prep players in the country. Diagne played in the underclassmen game along with future Syracuse teammate Frank Howard, a 6-foot-6 guard from Paul VI High School in Fairfax, Va.

Diagne is the fourth player in the 2015 class to commit to Syracuse.

In addition to Diagne and Howard, the other two are Malachi Richardson, a 6-5 guard from Trenton, N.J., and Tyler Lydon, a 6-9 forward from Pine Plains, N.Y. Lydon and Richardson were both originally set to play in the Mary Kline Classic but had to pull out due to conflicts.
