Good morning guys, it has been a busy morning for Arizona men's basketball as Tommy Lloyd and his staff have learned that they have landed one of their top international targets in Sidi Gueye, who told ESPN on Wednesday morning that he will be committing to the Wildcats.
Gueye is a 6-foot-11 forward from Senegal, who played in the Euro league and Spanish ACB league while playing for Real Madrid making his debuts for both leagues in October a few weeks after turning 17-years old. He will be one of the youngest players in college basketball for the 2025-26 season.
"Coach [Tommy] Lloyd is one of the top coaches in college and he has coached many international players before," Gueye told ESPN in their report. "He made me feel comfortable and showed me how I can improve and produce in his system."
When looking at an addition like Gueye, it is clear that this will be a project player that has a lot of room to grow. I see this as a replacement for Emmanuel Stephen, who entered the portal and left for UNLV after spending one season with the program.
Much like Stephen, Gueye is considered a defensive player with offensive skills that need development. The work for Lloyd and the Wildcats will come on the offensive side of the ball.
