Late Monday afternoon, news broke that Ibrahima Diallo — the oft-injured, seldom used sophomore center — had entered the transfer portal. At 6-foot-10 and 220 pounds, Diallo entered the Ohio State basketball program two years ago as a very obvious developmental prospect. He was the No. 369 recruit in the 2019 recruiting cycle, and was targeted specifically due to his length and shot blocking ability.
Unfortunately, the rest of his game has yet to develop, as he wound up playing just 50 minutes over the course of his two seasons in Columbus. He scored 11 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and blocked four shots across 13 games.
