I heard his high school coach had a lot to do with this...Sunrise Christian...who was the kid we had for one year from SUnrise Christian,,,never knew the whole story...but maybe it bit us on the butt....should we hang this one on Porter?
Isiah Bujdoso was from Sunrise Christian, but I think SCA is on like their 3rd head coach since then, so don't think it was likely that large of a factor.
However, I'm pretty sure Coach Drew is somewhat close with the head coach of the "post-grad" team at SCA, Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn. Drew wished him a happy birhtday on his Instagram the other day, so there are definitely still some ties to the school. Narin played at Michigan state from 2014-2018, and has been a grad assistant under Izzo the last two years. Would not be surprised to see us keep recruiting talent from there.
Back to Isaiah, he's had a bit of a path since he departed Loyola. Went back to play collegiately in Canada for a year, but think he missed most, if not all of, it with an injury. Last year he played a year at Hutchinson CC, then it announced earlier this year he was transferring to Tarleton State down in Texas. The school put out a press release and everthing. However when I looked the other day he wasn't on their updated roster for 2021-2022.
