Ohio State loses 2018 4-star recruit Darius Bazley

Four-star power forward Darius Bazley announced his decommitment from Ohio State's 2018 recruiting class Wednesday.

The Cincinnati native had been pledged to the Buckeyes since August 2016. He's the 47th-ranked prospect by ESPN for 2018, and 14th among power forwards.

Bazley, who's listed at 6-foot-8 and 195 pounds, said he'll still consider going to Ohio State as he reopens his recruitment. He has scholarship offers from Florida and Saint Louis, and is sure to attract plenty of others now that he's back on the open market.
