Villanova Offers 2016 PF Sedee Keita

Sedee Keita is a 6'9" power forward from Middletown, Delaware who put up an impressive display at the Reebok Breakout this past weekend in Philadelphia. Playing against mostly older players, Keita's performances earned him scholarship offers from both Iowa State and VCU on the weekend, with a couple more schools following suit on Monday.

Villanova & Rutgers have offered 2016 PF Sedee Keita of WE R1 (DE).

Keita was a class of 2015 prospect, but recently announced that he would be transferring to Vermont Academy, and reclassifying to 2016. Not much is known about Keita as he's just bursting onto the scene following the Reebok, but you can read a nice review of Keita here from the Pitt Jam Fest where he's regarded as a potential elite prospect.

Judging from the tweets from the Reebok, this is a smart offer by Jay Wright early, as he looks to continue his recent recruiting of the WE-R-1 AAU program.

First impression of 2016 Big man Sedee Keita is that he is big and active. Interesting young player had a nasty dunk to start off
