The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Philadelphia native averaged 1.1 points and 2.0 rebounds for a Gamecocks team that reached the Final Four.

Sources said Keita is interested in playing closer to home. He does not have any other confirmed visits at this time although UConn and Pittsburgh have been linked to him.

St. John’s has added Quinnipiac transfer Mikey Dixon and Brewster (N.H.) Academy wing Sid Wilson in their 2017 recruiting class.
