Quotable: “Isa is a true point guard with a great feel for the game and high basketball IQ. His playmaking ability is rare, having the ability to create opportunities for others and himself. He has worked on his strength recently and that is allowing him to score at all three levels, which is really exciting and should carry over to the college game immediately. On the defensive end, Isa will fit into our developing identity. One of the cool parts about Isa is he is constantly seeking ways to better himself and his team, and that drive is special.” – Head Coach Jerod Haase
