The other headliner is promising 6-7 sophomore Isaiah Philmore, who starred at St. Xavier of Junction City, KS last year, averaging 39 ppg. The 198-pounder, who relocated with his military family and whose mother is from Germany, is a sleek combo forward with 'inside-outside' skills, three-point shooting ability and a great frame that is still growing and filling out.
