Isaac is an imposing big man that uses an extremely versatile skill set to have his way against defenders. This stud is a three level sniper that gets cookin in a flash with efficient shooting. . Isaac has a beautiful touch from down town., can work the post with nice footwork to face up and attack to finish at the rim or with his back to the basket with crafty moves to get his shots. Isaac is a beast on the boards , relentless getting offensive putbacks , a solid defender and shot blocker .. . His energy is contagious and boy when he gets out in transition it could mean real trouble.


This past season Isaac averaged 19.7 Points, 11.7 Rebounds , 1.3 Steals and 2.5 blocks per game. Post season stats Isaac elevated his game averaging 20.8 Points, 13 Rebounds , 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. In AAU Isaac averaged 18.75 Points, and 8 RPG per game. The biggest element that has helped Isaac's game is his shot creation and learning when and how to take over a game. Isaac's biggest focus is to get his team back to states and to win the state championship for the first time in school history.One of Isaac's personal goals has always been to get all state first team.and he would be the first all state first team boys basketball player in school history.


Isaac accomplished his AAU goals when he got his first offer from West Virginia Tech. Playing in the US basketball games really showed Isaac where he was and showed him that he could hold his own with the best. Isaac was a double-double machine in this event and was unstoppable the entire tournament. It was an awesome show to watch as you could see his confidence grow and grow every single game. I enjoyed watching him grow up right before my eyes.


Beating Team Mississippi was a defining moment in Isaac's summer. saac felt he really showed everything he could do in that game.


Advice Isaac would give freshmen is to keep working. You’re gonna have ups and downs but enjoy it. And keep working .


I assess that Isaac found another gear this post season and summer and his stock is only going to keep rising. At this pace we are looking at a strong D1 talent growing more confident as he realizes just how much he can really do against anyone. That confidence will push him high and higher. Isaac put everyone on notice and now as he continues to elevate his dazzling skills to maximize his potential he is gonna be trouble. Yall can expect a monster season ahead. Isaac is just getting started to tap into his potential. stay tuned. .
