Doudou Gueye is headed to The Boot.
The Daytona State big man prospect who had long been on OSU’s wish list committed Thursday morning to Louisiana Lafayette over offers from St. John’s, Arkansas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State. At the time of his commitment, it is unclear if each program — including OSU — still had committable offers for him.
Gueye was a puzzle as a recruit with no social media and no presence in the media, so perhaps it’s no surprise that his final decision is a bit of a shocker. He gave no indication one way or another which program he was favoring, though it was easy to deduce that OSU and East Carolina were long considered frontrunners, seeing as both hosted him for official visits in recent weeks.
