They have the same last name. Don't think they are related. Isaac is from Brooklyn. Papa from Nigeria.

Was originally a 3, then a 4, and now a 5. Can probably play both 4 and 5 position In Big.
Has perimeter capabilities and gives us ability to double low post ala Notre Dame.

Isaac Kante has averaged 28-32 minutes per game for the last 3 years. I seriously doubt he signs on for 10-12 minutes per game. Even if it gets him to the tourney.
You never know what someone's goals are. Maybe he's been there and done that at that level and wants to play in the Big 10. Who knows? But I agree, it doesn't seem likely. Most of these guys don't move to play less.
Surprised he still has eligibility left. He will be 24 this year and this will be his 4th college team. He was originally a Georgia bulldog recruit. Transferred to Hofstra and then LIU and now transferring again.
There is a lot of info on him. Went to Georgia didn’t fit in. Then went to Hofstra and LIU. Leaving because they fired his coach. Academically sound. Strictly a 4/5 in college. Averaged about the same for last three years. Red shirted 18-19.
Man, we need a back up big man in the worst way. If he is someone who could give us 10-20 decent minutes a game at the 4/5, we should take him.
