Isa plays with a fire that burns through every possession. She is a 5-position force who can guard and play anywhere on the floor, she’s a swiss army knife wrapped in grit. Isa scores effectively at all three levels, locks in defensively, and thrives doing the little things that rarely show up in headlines but win games. From diving on loose balls and chasing down rebounds to leading huddles and setting the tone as a communicator, she embodies what every coach dreams of: versatility, toughness, and a player-first mindset. Isa is that glue every team needs, willing to make the extra pass, take the charge, or bring relentless energy in moments that matter most.

This past season, she averaged 8.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. The biggest improvement in her game came from behind the arc, where her three-point shot became a consistent weapon. She also elevated her ability to recognize when to attack, becoming more assertive in picking her spots offensively while still keeping her team-first mentality. After transferring to DeLaSalle, Isa finally landed in a program where her game and leadership were truly embraced. That environment helped her grow into the composed, confident, and hungry upperclassman she is now.

She plays for the Minnesota Metro Stars on the AAU circuit and is set to compete at Run 4 Roses in Kentucky, a stage built for gritty game-changers like her. Her focus this summer is all about maximizing scoring opportunities while continuing to be the heartbeat of her team on both ends of the floor. What fuels her are moments like an and-one or taking a charge, high-energy plays that flip momentum and bring teammates to life. And when facing adversity, she draws from her leadership, brings the group together, and pushes forward with belief and purpose.

When she is not playing basketball, Isa finds peace and joy in reading, building Legos, shopping, watching her favorite shows, and spending quality time with loved ones.

I assess that Isa brings a rare mix of size, skill, and selflessness that can make an instant impact in any college program. Her ability to defend every position, create within the flow of the game, and sacrifice for team success shows a maturity beyond her years. She’s a plug-and-play weapon who thrives doing the dirty work and winning because of it.

As Isa steps into a leadership role, expect her voice and game to grow even louder. With a continued focus on offensive assertiveness and development, she has all the tools to become a dominant two-way player at the next level. Her ceiling is sky-high, and her drive to be great is even higher. Stay tuned for a breakout season ahead.
