Get To Know: Keita Bates-Diop

Ohio State has offered  a number of recruits in the last few weeks.  One of those recruits is 2014 University High School (IL) Forward Keita Bates-Diop.  Keita has impressed coaches from across the country this summer and it shows, picking up offers from the likes of the Buckeyes, Michigan, Illinois, DePaul, Kansas State, Purdue and more to go along with recent interest from Michigan State.  The 6'7 190lb Forward had a great  AAU season and really enjoyed "How well we did as a team and how well I did in different aspects of my game".  Keita feels his versatility is one of his strengths on the court but knows he has a few things to work on "Probably my strength and being consistently aggressive".  Last week the Junior received a phone call he might never forget "Coach Matta called me and we talked for a little while then he said they would like to offer me a scholarship to The Ohio State University" "It felt good".  It does not take a scout to know that Keita Bates-Diop will be a name we might end up hearing for quite some time.
