Wasn't sure the place to post this, but sad news today as former Florida State center Michael Ojo has died from a heart attack at age 27 (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-ojo-former-florida-state-center-dies-age-27/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=96391146). Ojo had been playing for Red Star Belgrade in the Adriatic League.

The 7-1, 290 lb center was an imposing figure for FSU from 2013-17.

That is very sad, but thank you for posting.

Surprised not to have seen this already. One of the biggest dudes I ever saw play. Died of a heart issue at age (gulp!) 27. FSU hoops must be reeling right now. Tragic.

That's so sad. Ojo had a rather awesome story if i'm not mistaken. Wasn't he a veteran who came back to school after a couple of years in the military?

No, that's Bernard James (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_James). Ojo was from Nigeria.
