  • Big day for Texas A&M: adding one, keeping one

    By ADAM ZAGORIA

    Creighton transfer Pop Isaacs is headed to Texas A&M, sources confirmed to ZAGSBLOG. The program has also retained Indiana transfer Mackenzie Mgbako, who withdrew his name from the NBA Draft, per ESPN.

    Isaac’s decision was first reported by On3.com.

    Isaacs initially committed to Houston, which on Tuesday got guard Milos Uzan back after he withdrew from the NBA Draft.

    The 6-foot-2 junior guard averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists in eight games last season before undergoing season-ending hip surgery in December.

    Prior to that, he spent two seasons at Texas Tech averaging 11.5 points and 15.8 points, respectively.

    He joins Mgbako, Kansas transfer guard Rylen Griffen, N.C. State transfer guard Marcus Hill, Texas Tech transfer forward Federiko Federiko, Kansas transfer forward Zach Clemence, North Alabama transfer guard Jacari Lane, Samford transfer guard Josh Holloway, Texas transfer big man Jamie Vinson on first-year coach Bucky McMillan’s team.

    The 6-8 Mgbako will transfer after playing well at the NBA G League and NBA Draft Combines.

    He averaged 12.2 points and 4.6 rebounds as a sophomore at Indiana.
