Coastal Carolina’s steady, high-motor frontcourt anchor
Badou Diagne is a 6-foot-7 Senegalese forward who made his name at Coastal Carolina as a tough, reliable rebounder and efficient interior scorer. In his senior season, he averaged 11.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game and shot 44.9% from the field, while finishing his Coastal career with 1,027 points, 789 rebounds, and 99 blocks. What makes him pop isn’t just the box score: he was a durable, physical presence who battled through a foot injury late in the year and still mattered when Coastal needed him most. He looks like the kind of glue guy coaches trust.
