Yaya Keita enters the transfer portal

The transfer portal churns, and sometimes it ever sucks in players who you once held in high regard. As Dennis Gates continues to remake the Missouri Basketball roster there were bound to be casualties, and the latest player to walk out the door is Freshman Post Yaya Keita.

Keita was an interesting prospect coming in as a freshman. A player who played at DeSmet High School in St. Louis, MO and was still relatively new to basketball. But also one who missed his senior season after tearing his ACL. So a season of lost skill development, and progress put him into a tough spot as he tried to build strength and confidence in his repaired knee.
