International freshman recruit Gaston Diedhiou has taken his second English proficiency test and submitted the results for review, University of Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said on Thursday.

Now, the team just has to wait a little longer to find out whether they'll add another post player to the roster before the start of Big Ten play.

"Any day now," Pitino said.

Minnesota's Office of Admissions has to approve the new test score -- for which there is no baseline.

Admissions director Rachelle Hernandez denied Diedhiou -- who has been living on campus and participating in English intensive courses -- the first time around, after he had passed the NCAA Clearinghouse this summer.

If she and her staff chose to reverse that decision based on the new score, Diedhiou could join the team right away and be available in the next game, whenever that might be.

Pitino, though, isn't getting his hopes up for how much help that would bring to a squad who currently has just two true post players on the roster.

Mo Walker and Elliott Eliason man the center spot while Joey King is backed up by Charles Buggs at the power forward -- but both are more of stretch-4, wing-type players than bangers under the basket. International freshman Bakary Konate has the upside to be a strong post player eventually, but is so raw he likely won't play much in the Big Ten slate.

Diedhiou could be similar in how much times he needs to adjust to the college game -- only without the 71 minutes of experiences Konate has gotten so far this season, Pitino said.

"I don't have a whole lot of expectations for him right now, immediately," he said. "That's what those guys need. Playing time."

Diedhiou has been able to use the facilities while enrolled as a non-student in his English program, but can't work out or practice with the team.

Pitino said he doesn't yet know when they'll hear back from admissions.

"I honestly have no timetable," he said. "I would have thought (by now). We're waiting. Everything is done, we're waiting on word."
