What's the rumor?
The rumor is we've been eliminated from contention and he's probably headed to play for Georgia. IMO, it also looks like we're somewhat losing recruiting momentum. I'm not saying this due to potentially losing out on Kante. It's also not being able to bring in a decent or competent big this offseason. I know the staff has tried, but unfortunately they've been rebuffed.
This is why we need to bring in Rice or someone with similar capabilities ASAP, as well, as we need to be an NCAA Tournament team (or, advance deeply into the NIT, if that is where we end up), in order to gain back the momentum. Not to mention, it's also imperative that our 2018 haul is an impressive list of kids. Outside of those things taking place, then... well, you get the picture.
