Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin':
1) Probably Jamari Wheeler's transfer to Ohio State "sealed the deal" for Musa.
2) Great that you have graduated.
3) Hopefully he can stay 100% heathy for the entire 2021-2022 season and put up some really good numbers too. The best of luck at your next school.

Too soon old, too late smart
In my eyes, probably the best athlete on the Buckeyes team. Seemed to do everything well, guess just not well enough. Between Musa and Mohammad for best defensive player, now both are gone. Good luck to you Musa, hope you are successful wherever you choose to go.

Just sayin': Anyone surprised he didn't end up at a school closer to East Hartford, CT?......
Once a Buckeye always a Buckeye; good luck at Charlotte.

Skull Session: Ohio State Lands Five-Star Linebacker Riley Pettijohn, Jake Diebler and His Wife Welcome Their Fourth Child and Musa Jallow Returns to Columbus
Ohio State lands five-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn, Jake Diebler and his wife welcome their fourth child and Musa Jallow returns to Columbus.
WELCOME HOME, MUSA. Following the 2020-21 Ohio State men’s basketball season, Musa Jallow transferred to Charlotte. He averaged five points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game in 10 appearances before tearing his ACL.
Two years later, Jallow is back in Columbus, but it’s not because of basketball. Instead, it’s because of a career as an inpatient exercise psychologist at the Ohio State Ross Heart Hospital.
From Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch:
“It’s funny, just being back,” he said. “Everything’s the same, but I feel like I’m in a completely different mindset, obviously not playing college basketball.”
Jallow took in a few men’s basketball games at Value City Arena and was on hand to watch the Buckeyes take down No. 2 Purdue in the first game with Jake Diebler as interim head coach. He finally received his senior jersey, which he said now hangs on his apartment wall, and was pleased to see that the doors were still open to him at the program even as those who personally knew him as a player had mostly moved on.
This winter, Jallow said he is looking to apply to medical school next year, so he’s finishing up prerequisite classes and studying for the MCAT. While he’s at the hospital, Jallow said he’s interacted with “a lot” of doctors who were season-ticket holders and watched him play for the Buckeyes.
“It’s been a warm welcome back,” he said.
The same went for his return to the Kingdom Summer League. Playing for team NWFG, Jallow was surprised to learn he was suiting up with two former teammates in Andre and Kaleb Wesson. Before the game started, the three embraced, sat on the bleachers and caught up as if no time had passed.
“I ain’t played with Musa in so long,” Kaleb Wesson, who played in Bulgaria and France last year, said. “That’s my dude, though. You know what you’re going to get out of Musa. He’s going to give you 100 (percent) on every play. He’s going to hit shots and do what any coach asks him to do. Musa’s a great dude.”
So far, the ankles have held up and Jallow has enjoyed dipping his toes back into the game alongside his friends. There is a general plan for what comes next, depending on health, schoolwork and job opportunities. After leaving Ohio State only to make his way back, nothing would surprise Jallow.
“I give the glory to God for bringing me back,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting (it), but it’s good to be back.”
