Moustapha Diagne is hoping to make the jump from the junior college ranks to the NBA.

The talented forward from Northwest Florida State is declaring for the draft without an agent, head coach Steve DeMeo told Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv.

"Tapha has decided to explore the NBA draft process," DeMeo said. "The rules are designed to allow college players to find out where they stand today. He is one of the most talented and skilled big men in the country and has extremely high character and grades."

Diagne was originally committed to Syracuse, but didn't receive eligibility for the 2015-16 season. He finished with 10.2 points and 7.3 rebounds this year at Northwest Florida State.
