Per Zagoria

St. John’s head coach Chris Mullin and assistant Matt Abdelmassih met on campus Thursday with Isaac Kante.

Kante, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound power forward originally from Brooklyn, is now at Putnam (CT) Science.

“They really want me to play,” he said. “They want a big that can come in right away and play and take a load off the guards.”

St. John’s lost big men Darien Williams and Yankuba Sima to transfer and on Thursday small forward Richard Freudenberg announced he will play professionally in Europe. The Red Storm now have four scholarships available.

Kante will take an official to Georgia beginning Friday and will then visit Old Dominion. He plans to visit St. John’s but has no date set.

“I’ll bring versatility to wherever I go because I’m not a one-dimensional player,” he said.

He hopes to decide later this month or in early May.

St. John’s also had home visits set with 2018 center Moses Brown of Archbishop Molloy and 2018 shooting guard Luther Muhammad of Hudson (N.J.) Catholic.

No info, but gut tells me the visit doesn't happen at all...  Brooklyn kid getting a chance to play in NYC as multiple PF/C's leave and get out of his way.  Just a guess...

I agree with your thinking here. NYC kid with a chance to get major minutes at sju as a freshman. That sounds pretty enticing for a kid who seems like a late bloomer in terms of offers

How many assists did Lovett miss because of poor hands in our frontcourt? If this kid can catch the ball, and hit shots, he'll get mad minutes. Got to like that body type, and hopefully he, Shamorie and Ahmed can chat about playing at home.

I just want a good sized PF who is athletic and plays at both ends.  JPM loves this kid.   Whether as a PF or a stopgap center doesn't matter.  He's billed as a tough kid.  He's also young apparently, even though he prepped, and is built well.  Our backcourt is loaded.  We need frontcourt guys.  I just want a tough kid up there with a motor.

This kid has nothing on Marvin Clark. Now that is a big man.

It could mean nothing. Ahmed had nothing. Freudenberg had several. We know how that turned out.

If kante plays for the RENs I think I'm watching him right now. Huge.
