Momo Faye would bring older shot-blocker to UNC Basketball’s frontcourt mix
Posted Apr 30, 2026
UNC Basketball's search for more frontcourt talent could include shot-blocking phenom Momo Faye. At 6-10, 223 pounds, the Senegalese center plays for the Paris Basketball team in France’s LNB Élite and the EuroLeague, and is a reported target for Coach Michael Malone. Faye turned 21 in February, making him older than UNC frontcourt newcomers.
