Musa Jallow should be finishing up his senior year of high school as we speak. Instead, he is preparing to play basketball on an international level.
Jallow was named to the USA Men's U18 National Team training camp roster on Monday, a roster made up of 32 athletes, primarily those still in high school. Jallow, however, reclassified to the 2017 recruiting class in order to play for Ohio State last season, a year in which he averaged 2.5 points for the Big Ten runners-up.

Jallow will be the only active college player in training camp, with all other members on the roster still in high school or preparing for their freshman season.
Ohio State has offered a number of players currently listed on the roster, including Trayce Jackson-Davis, who the Buckeyes went to watch play just days ago in an Indianapolis tournament.
Purdue's Matt Painter is the chair of the USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team Committee, and the team will be coached by Kansas' Bill Self.
