DeAndre Kane Added to Boeheim’s Army Roster

Boeheim’s Army has added a three-time TBT champion to its roster. DeAndre Kane, formerly of Overseas Elite which is not competing in the 2021 The Basketball Tournament, was added to the roster the team announced on Thursday. The addition brings the roster to 10 players and features the most non-Syracuse alums of any previous Boeheim’s Army squad.

Kane, a 6-4 guard, started his collegiate career at Marshall, where he spent three seasons, averaging 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for the Herd. He transferred to Iowa State for his senior year, and averaged 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. Kane was a member of Overseas Elite’s 2016, 2017 and 2018 TBT championship teams. He averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 2016, 9.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 2017 and 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 rebounds in 2018.

“We had been hearing whispers that Overseas Elite would not be returning and obviously, it’s the greatest team in TBT history and one of the best runs in any pro sport,” Boeheim’s Army general manager Kevin Belbey said via Syracuse.com. “A challenge for us is we’ve had the talent but ... we needed to get tougher. Deandre is one of the toughest players in TBT history. He can play all five positions offensively and defensively and always takes on the challenge of guarding the other team’s best players.”

Kane is added to a Boeheim’s Army roster that includes Paschal Chukwu, Eric Devendorf, CJ Fair, Tyler Lydon, Chris McCullough, Tyrese Rice, Malachi Richardson, Keifer Sykes and Andrew White. Boeheim’s Army will begin play the weekend of July 24th in the Peoria, Illinois region.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
