Tom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
Was in good spots on the floor to rebound the basketball. Was able to initiate the break and had no problem pushing the tempo once he secured the ball. He spent some time at the foul line. Scored using his in-between game. Battled on the inside and got 2nd chance points. Kane also was able to use ball screens in the half-court. He played with some nice energy throughout.

Capping a breakout sophomore season and dominant run through the Class 2A tournament, Kane made up for a loss in last year’s state title game with an imposing 52-36 win over Old Forge. The sophomore forward delivered a double-double of 15 points and 12 boards, tossing in four assists while imposing his will out of the high-low game in a twin-tower duo with junior

. Kane was the main source behind Sewickley winning the rebounding margin 35-to-19 (17-to-6 offensive), which in large part made up the difference in the outcome. The Senegalese southpaw is tracking as one of the top young frontcourt prospects in the state and now has some state hardware to begin adding to his trophy case.

Kane showcased his athleticism playing above the rim. Really liked how he was able to come down with a highlight reel dunk during the later stretches of the game. Kane is like a battering ram and adores contact. He spends a lot of time at the foul line and made the most of his chances from there. There were some flashes of his creativity to make plays for others. Kane covers a ton of ground with his quickness and does a satisfactory job of getting around ball screens. His 21 points was a game high and really came into his own during the 4th quarter and overtime period. Kane is starting to scratch the surface as a prospect.

Kane did a little bit of everything for his Sewickley team. He showed he could score from behind the arc with two three pointers. Kane also was able to find paydirt inside the painted areas converting several chances from there. He was a threat to make plays for others with his passing and has a good ability of processing the game. He sought out contact on the attack and made a handful of trips to the foul line. I want to see Kane lock in and play hard for a full 32 minutes at times he can take plays off. Kane oozes with potential. He finished with a team high of 18 points in the win.

Kane keeps improving with time and touched the game in all different facets. He is a magnet for rebounds and has no issue going out of his area to shag rebounds. One of Kane’s underrated skill-sets is his passing and he does a really nice job getting others the ball for scoring chances of their own. He finished the game with 14 points. Kane is one of the best post players in the Keystone state in his class.

One of the most talked about 2028 prospects in Western Pennsylvania will bring his talents east for Philly HS Live S1. Kane is an athletic power forward prospect with a non-stop motor and a fierce style of play. With his size, power and finishing skills, Kane can dominate a game from the interior. He is especially adept at scoring in close through contact. But do not sleep on Kane’s guard skills. Kane owns the handles and speed to push the ball in transition for scores and assists. On half-court possessions, Kane can drain threes, operate in pick-n-roll action and blow by his man off the bounce. On defense, Kane is a shot blocking force and a rebounding machine.
