Ibrahima Diallo, a 7-foot center, committed to Ohio State on Sunday. The Senegal native who plays for Prolific Prep in California chose to become a Buckeye over his other finalist, Pittsburgh.
Diallo joins four-star point guard DJ Carton and four-star forwards Alonzo Gaffney and E.J. Liddell to comprise the top-ranked 2019 recruiting class in the Big Ten. He will provide depth behind Kaleb Wesson, who will return for his junior season as the team's starting center.
As a 7-foot, 226-pound center, Diallo has a relatively raw offensive game, but his 7-foot-9 wingspan allows him to be a force defensively in the paint.
