  "summary": "BYU senior big man Keba Keita has announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to a source speaking with Yahoo Sports. Keita, who averaged 6.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 68% from the field during the 2022-23 season, now plans to explore his options for an additional year of college basketball. This decision comes after he was part of a California lawsuit that granted 73 student-athletes a temporary restraining order against the NCAA, effectively allowing them to enter the transfer portal outside of the normal window. Keita, a 6-foot-8 forward/center, began his college career at Utah before transferring to BYU.",
