The Miami Hurricanes coaching staff is pursuing another European player, having reached out to 6-foot-6 wing Dame Sarr from Italy.

Miami is one of several schools, including Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, BYU, USC, and SMU, that have reached out to Sarr. For a time, Illinois was considered the frontrunner, however, as teams like the Hurricanes and several other Power Five programs got involved in his recruitment, it’s a open race.

Sarr has been a player for FC Barcelona. During the last...

I would think those guys are a lot less likely to portal every year.

I think that is more the American culture. I get that this is an entirely different stratoshphere, but my thinking is derived from European stars in the league that are always pretty loyal.
 
Turns 19 in June. Given his Hoop Summit performance and experience on FC Barcelona’s A team — he should be regarded as a five star prospect.

Didn’t score in 5 minutes of play during his Italian national team debut against Iceland. They lost. I didn’t know Iceland had hoopers like that. Has played in two other Italian national team games since then. What’s impressive is that he is actually on the team at 18.

Barcelona thought they’d be able to have him for one more year, but he played too well for that to happen.

Doesn’t really say anything about him besides wanting more exposure, but interesting tidbit nonetheless. The NBA is about to change the whole dynamic in Europe because of their inability to adapt. Euroleague is about to be outta here.

Sarr sparked controversy in April 2025 when he unilaterally decided to travel to Portland, Oregon to play in the 2025 Nike Hoops Summit, after Barcelona had denied his request to do so. Barcelona released a statement acknowledging the player's actions, regarding them as a breach of his obligations. Barcelona and Sarr would ultimately reach an agreement to go on separate ways on April 17, 2025, with the player being left out the team's roster for the remainder of the season.
