CHAMPAIGN — Not much was known about Samba Kane when he committed to Illinois on March 9.
Other than the fact he stood 7 feet tall and would bring some added size to the Illini men's basketball team when he arrived on campus this summer.
Kane is still listed as being on the Illinois roster, but those summer plans appear to be on hold.
According to a report from 247sports on Friday morning, Kane has left the program this summer after dealing with transcript issues and being unable to enroll in summer school. Kane plans to return in August to begin taking classes for the fall semester.
