ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥

UA officials confirmed the 6-11 forward arrived on Tuesday, meaning the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ will have their full 16-player roster available for early fall workouts and the full preseason practices that can begin on Sept. 22.

The ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ held five weeks of limited workouts starting in July before breaking last week. They are expected to return this weekend and spend next week adjusting to fall classes and working out individually, then will resume team workouts the following week. Full-length practices can begin six weeks before UA's Nov. 3 opener against Florida.

While Gueye will start off his ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ career slightly behind in preparation -- and won't even turn 18 until October -- he has flashed considerable upside with his athletic frame, 7-4 wingspan and defensive versatility.

Gueye played for  in 2024-25, playing briefly  in the Spanish top ACB league and three games in Euroleague competition. He also averaged 7.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks over 12 games in the U18 .Ìý

Gueye was born in Senegal and moved to Spain in 2021 to play for Real Madrid, the same club that developed former UA big man Henri Veesaar before he spent the past three seasons with the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥.

"Coach (Tommy) Lloyd is one of the top coaches in college, and he has coached many international players before," Gueye told ESPN upon announcing his commitment to UA in April. "He made me feel comfortable and showed me how I can improve and produce in his system."

Gueye is one of seven freshmen Lloyd is bringing in this season, four of whom are international. Forward Dwayne Aristode is from Netherlands, wing Ivan Kharchenkov is from Germany while forward Mabil Mawut has roots in Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan.

While international students at U.S. schools  in getting visa interviews or other restrictions, Mawut was already in the United States after attending Our Savior Lutheran High School of Bronx, N.Y. for the past two seasons.

Aristode spent last season at Brewster Academy of New Hampshire while Kharchenkov arrived this summer from Germany without issue after playing for Bayern Munich last season.
