Adrame Diongue has visited San Jose State University. He's a 7-foot, 190, transfer from Washington State.

As Paul Biacardi tweeted: "A few NBA scouts I spoke with are high on Adrame Diongue’s upside. At 7’ feet tall with a 7’6” wingspan he shrinks the floor defensively & protects the rim with quick bounce. Finisher & facilitates too. A lot to work with if healthy."
