Well...until Iowa played Oregon anyway.
From a train wreck to a freight train in two months.
This is cool, but maybe I'm missing something here. Looking purely at statistics, he's a little bigger, little worse shooting Rasir Bolton? Their stats are near identical. I've admittedly never watched a Penn State game, so does he have a specific type of impact on games?
They are going to sell a lot of programs those 1st few games. LOL.
Agree. Really changes the dynamics of this team. Shored up a big area of need, guard depth! Heck Izaiah might start! Regardless, he will play a lot, be a leader and a big spark on defense.
And we can also be more flexible with a smaller lineup, Izaiah on the wing or 2-3, and a great slasher.
It's the sum of the parts. Rasir is a stud, no doubt. But we've upgraded immensely with all the rest of the newcomers. Brockington when combined with the rest... equals better team all around.
He’s a way better defender, he’s 2 inches taller, he’s a better rebounder, he’s a wing and not a PG.
His impact on games comes from his energy, defense and rebounding. Also Izaiah doesn’t shoot many threes. Which is a good thing.
What a great way to end the class! Can’t wait to see how this group comes together.
Sorry I can't help myself. Any new commitment thread won't become complete without this meme.
Credit goes to the person who originally created this masterpiece.
Omg, TJ is absolutely killing it. So him and Kalscheur both start and Enunra off the bench now?
This team could get to 9-9 and a tourney if all these parts come together. There is a significant talent upgrade over last years team.

I never really watched Rasir play, out-of-stater, and I do have CyTv but never wanted to watch the replays. I appreciate what Rasir did for our team. He was the best scorer. Hopefully he will be in a better place at Gonzaga! Wish him well!
I'm hoping Izaiah will be able to replace some, or maybe even all of Rasir's point production, but it will be in a different way. Think attacker/slasher, foul line, short game. And his defense will be worth the exchange for this team. Our team just got a new defensive identity.
Was hoping for more of a “bucket getter”, but he’s got decent scoring and I like the size he brings to the backcourt.
Overall, the roster is looking bigger and a lot more talented than last year, but I’m not sure where the scoring is going to come from.

Brockington and Gabe made the perimeter defense 100% better just by adding them.
In fairness I don't think Rasir was a PG either, but got forced into the role.
If he's a plus defender then that's probably an upgrade regardless. But as for rebounding, they're pretty even there too which surprised me.
Definitely not hating the move, just seemed like kind of a lateral move.

I guess I look at it like this. The scoring next year will come from more than a single person. We've upgraded all around.
The best part is he can now go all in on 2022 and 2023 recruits.
And Izaiah's Dad Antoine was 1 of 4 from 3 that game. The rest of Coppin State only had one more 3. South Carolina had four 3's.Did not know that until now. Cool.
That inspired me to delve further: He was second-leading scorer (20 points) in (15) Coppin State's upset of (2) South Carolina in the '97 NCAA tournament.

Game recap:
Who won the game by scoring more 2-pointers and free throws? Hmm.
