Oumar Ballo has committed to Gonzaga, a source tells ESPN. 6'11 Malian center with a 7'6 wingspan averaged 21 points and 17 rebounds at the FIBA U17 World Cup in Argentina last summer. Only 16-years old but will enroll this summer.
— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) February 24, 2019Ballo had whittled his choices down to Baylor, Gonzaga, and Arizona, but the stars seemed aligned for the Zags the entire time. He was just in town to watch the win over Pepperdine, and seemed like the wait in the commitment was a mere formality.
Ballo is young, raw, and uber-talented.
