Dame Sarr targeted by Kansas, Oregon and North Carolina

Kansas men's basketball is reportedly interested in top-rated international player Dame Sarr. However, the Jayhawks are not the only program interested in the Italian guard.

The 18-year-old was connected to Illinois, but a recent addition of Andrej Stojaković might mean that the Fighting Illini would back out of the pursuit. However, UNC and Oregon are still in the race for Sarr's commitment, alongside Kansas.

"Sarr is an athletic 6-6 wing who is still growing into his frame but flashes big time upside ability. Needs to polish up his shooting form and become a better 3pt shooter... excels in the open court and getting downhill to the basket. Has a quick first step and is aggressive going to the rim," a scouting report from NBA Draft Room said about Sarr.

"Can play above the rim, score through contact and also shows good passing vision on his drives to the hoop. Has a lot of talent and ability but is still unrefined. Can be a bit wild and careless with the ball."

Sarr played two seasons for FC Barcelona in Spain's Liga ACB and EuroLeague. He averaged 3.2 points, shooting 50.6 percent field goal, 36.8 percent from the 3-point range and 45.8 percent from the free-throw line. He also averaged 12.8 minutes per game.
