I figured they were. Closer to home and family, weather he's used to.

It's still early though

I thought I read somewhere that he dropped OSU, or they mutually lost interest in each other months ago.

which is probably why this thread slipped to the second page.

Although the odds of Alibi landing at tOSU are slim at this point, I have not heard they have gone their seperate ways. I will leave the thread open until confirmation.

First player to 'blow up'

In the peculiar version of the English language spoken by prep recruiting analysts, "blowing up" is a good thing. On Day 1 at Nike, 7-1 center Solomon Alabi, a native of Nigeria who attends Montverde Academy in Florida, did just that.

Alabi averaged only 8.2 points and 6.3 rebounds last season and was ranked at the low end of the top 100 by scouts. But Vince Baldwin of regional service PrepSpotlight counted 13 blocks for Alabi in the day's first game, and Alabi closed out his night shift by snuffing an attempt at a game-winning layup by gifted wing Chris Wright.
Alabi mentioned Florida State, Saint Joseph's and Virginia were recruiting him. Kentucky also has noticed. Those programs will not be alone.
