Kante is a 4-star prospect and checks in as the No. 91 player in the country for the class of 2023, per the 247 Sports Composite Rankings. Listed at 6-foot-10 and 215 lbs., Kante is also the No. 12 center in the country and 3rd overall prospect out of Connecticut for the cycle.
He becomes the first play committed to Juwan Howard’s 2023 class, so it will be interesting to see how the Wolverines round out the cycle around Kante.
