Summary
- Freshman forward Sidi Gueye has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
- Gueye averaged 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds in limited minutes.
- His future role depended on center Motiejus Krivas's NBA draft decision.
Arizona's 2026-27 roster sees its first roster change as freshman forward Sidi Gueye has entered the NCAA transfer portal. This departure is the initial move from the Wildcats' Final Four team, excluding players who have exhausted their eligibility.
Gueye, a 6-foot-10 forward, participated in 26 games during the past season, averaging 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds. His playing time was minimal, averaging 3.5 minutes per game. However, he saw an increase in minutes during Koa Peat's absence, scoring 4 points and grabbing 4 rebounds against BYU.
The freshman was anticipated to take on a more significant role next season. This would be influenced by the decision of center Motiejus Krivas regarding the 2026 NBA Draft. Currently, the frontcourt also consists of Peat, expected to enter the draft, and redshirted center Mabil Mawut.
