Last visit???

 

[6&counting]

Wow, that visit schedule is insane in that timeline. That kid's head will be spinning by the time he gets here

 

[pj]

6 visits in 7 days. He'll want to sleep.

 

[Umami Zen]

Would be awesome to have another Mali big owning the paint at UConn

Keita is an elite defender that possesses great size, incredible length and is a very fluid mover on the court. He covers immense ground on the defensive end of the court, providing a premier anchor to his team's defensive efforts.

Playing both at the NBPA Top100 Camp and the NBA Academy Games this summer, Keita showcased his ability to block and alter shots at an elite level.

Visit schedule doesn't seem possible. Is he going to spend 15 minutes at each school before going back to the airport?

doesn't take long for the folded offer note to be slid across the desk in this brave new world.

 

[NotADime89]

Love that we are the last OV on his schedule. Wouldn't put it past the staff to fly Adama in to greet and host him on the visit

 

[Umami Zen]

Will be interesting to see -at some later date and if we make their short list(s)- If staff prefers A.Diane or a re-classified Keita for a 2026 spot.

I think staff would prefer a re-classed Keita but I could be wrong.

Recent scuttlebutt is Diane is a Houston lean and may not make it to our visit.

Jamie Shaw put in the On3 equivalent of a crystal ball to Houston for Diane. People on the internet also think Keita for Duke, but that might just be a "if Duke is involved we assume that until we hear otherwise."

4-star C Arafan Diane​

Joe Tipton reported that Arafan Diane is scheduled to take an unofficial visit to SMU this weekend. The 7-footer will also take a visit to Houston, Rivals is told. Other programs like UConn, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Washington, Indiana, Iowa, and more are working to get the big man on campus. Ultimately, heading into these visits, based on the intel I have, I placed an RPM for Diane to commit to Houston. Continue to watch how these visits play out and if a commitment timeline starts to form.

Take him to Starbucks instead of the dairy bar.
