The seven-footer out of (Spain) is a native of Mali in Africa, has not been rated in the 247Sports Top150 but “is a five-star caliber recruit and has a case to be made as the top big man in the 2027 class.” according to recruiting expert Travis Branham
Seita plays for FC Barcelona of the Spanish Liga ACB and EuroLeague.
Branham also had this to say about Keita's game in his young career: "Offensively, Keita is still a bit raw but has shown flashes of ability to score with his back to the basket with a right hook and has high upside as a vertical spacer to go up and grab lobs."
At the Academy Games in July, Keita averaged 13.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and four blocks a game.
Seita is currently listed as a rising junior in the class of 2027 but could re-class candidate to the class of 2026 his NIL representatives at Gersh Sports told DraftExpress.
If Sayon Keita is as good as advertised, as the schools he's visiting are indicators that this will be a top-tier recruitment process. The Hoosiers basketball program would love to add an elite big man like Keita to their recruiting haul, as this is a guy who could come in right away and be a major impact player for Darian DeVries and Indiana basketball in 2026 or 2027.
