Pop Isaacs - College Basketball News & Rumors

Full clearance expected soon Isaacs (knee) is on track to be fully cleared by September and probable for Texas A&M's preseason activities, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact It appears that not long after Isaacs was cleared for a hip injury, another health problem arose. Fortunately for him, he is not expected to miss any time. Texas A&M's regular season begins in November, so full clearance and acclimation before then should allow him to smoothly begin his TAMU career when the campaign comes. But for the time being, there is still recovery work to be done on his part.

Impact Isaacs looked to replace Milos Uzan at Houston. That was until the latter withdrew from the 2025 NBA Draft, and because of how he proved himself this past season, there was no way Isaacs would take over a starting position in that case. So, he has flipped his commitment to his next-best option, and Kosko's announcement indicates that such an option was Texas A&M.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • Associated Press

He's in line to be in Creighton's starting five as long as he can reach full strength by the regular season.
