Transferring Seton Hall point guard Sterling Gibbs is headed to Ohio State following his Pittsburgh visit and will also visit UConn next week, his father told SNY.tv Thursday morning.
“He’s at Pitt right now, he’ll go to Ohio State today [Thursday],” Temple Gibbs said by phone. “I’ll meet him at Ohio State [Friday].”
Ashton Gibbs, Sterling’s older brother who played at Pitt from 2008-12, attended some of the visit with his brother, but Temple said he hadn’t spoken to them recently.
The 6-foot-2 point guard is down to Pittsburgh, Ohio State, UConn, Baylor, N.C. State and VCU.
He will visit UConn next week.
“Yeah, we have a UConn visit next week,” Temple said.
Gibbs may take other visits, but nothing else is finalized.
“I don’t want to say anything until we’re lined up definitely,” Temple said.
Gibbs was a second-team all-Big East selection this past season, averaging 16.3 points and 3.8 assists a game. He is ranked the No. 1 transfer on ESPN’s transfer list. He will be immediately eligible wherever he lands.
“I’m hoping [he decides] soon,” Temple said. “I can’t say a timetable, but I’m hoping soon.”
Asked what they would be looking for in a new school, Temple said, “We only have one year, it’s gotta be a great fit for him. We can’t make a mistake on this.”
