UNC Basketball hosting top international center Sayon Keita for official visit Friday

Posted Aug 1, 2025
UNC Basketball is hosting an official visitor Friday who wasn't on many radars a week ago. Sayon Keita, a 7-foot big man from Bamako, Mali, is on his fifth official in as many days. His whirlwind tour began at Kansas on Monday, followed by trips to Indiana, Kentucky, and Duke on consecutive days. Keita is one of the top post recruits in the 2027 class. (TarHeel247)
