0:00On April 26, 6 foot 11 hours main in DI from Senegal just committed to Kentucky basketball. This big forward caught everyone off guard announcing his decision after barely being on radars. Last season in Italy's LBA League, he averaged 10.2 points and 6.7 rebounds in 27.3 minutes per game, shooting over 40% from the field. That LBA ranks 13th globally according to Top Scouts, ahead of every college conference, even the SEC at 25th. In to Daihei, thrive there, showing he can handle pro-level talent way tougher than what NCAA teams face. Big blue nation is buzzing, though most fans are still learning his game. His athleticism and physicality make him a fit for the SEC grind, and folks see him contributing right away without the usual adjustment pains. He's got prior stops in Spain's ACB, 6th worldwide, and the Euro League at 4th, building experience as a younger player.

Kentucky's roster keeps leveling up with this move, setting up real depth for the upcoming run. Keep an eye on how he meshes in Lexington.
