Mid majors losing their top players is certainly starting to look like the new normal

Kante committed to LIU Brooklyn. I don't get that move, but who knows what was going on behind the scenes.

He's from Brooklyn and LIU's hoops, baseball, and softball teams play their home games in Brooklyn (football, hockey and others play on Long Island).

Plus the hoop's head coach is Derek Kellogg, so maybe he recruited Kante when he was in HS.

Yeah, I get going home. I just figured a guy of his size and production would get some interest from P5s to round out their roster.

I agree. And Hofstra is still on Long Island, it's not like he was halfway across the country. Probably helps us, but it is tough to see the CAA lose talent, especially to a low major.
