Ike Cornish, the 6-foot-6 small forward from Maryland, committed to Ohio University on Friday while on a visit.

Cornish also considered George Mason and canceled a visit to Grand Canyon.

The Baltimore native averaged 1.4 points in 21 games last season under Kevin Willard, but has found a new home under coach Jeff Boals. Assistant coach Lamar Thornton was the lead recruiter.
