UNC Lands 7-Foot Star Keita, Boosts Frontcourt

About this episode

UNC enhances its frontcourt with the commitment of seven-foot Sayon Keita, a promising player with pro experience.

North Carolinas frontcourt just got a major boost with the commitment of seven-foot Sayon Keita, a Spanish-based Mali native who chose UNC over heavy hitters like Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and UConn. Keita, with pro experience from FC Barcelona, is a defensive beast with a raw offensive game. Hell likely start alongside Jarin Stevenson, with fresh talent and transfers backing him up. Keitas pick-and-roll dives will open up the floor for UNCs guards, making their frontcourt a nightmare matchup next season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
