Isaiah Philmore

[SubGod22]

City of Palms a couple of weeks ago.

Tuesday 12/18 - John Carroll junior forward Isaiah Philmore had a big game in defeat against Helen Cox. The 6-foot-7 junior scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds but it was his defense on Greg Monroe that was impressive. Philmore's high-energy and physical play slowed down the nation's top player.

Wednesday 12/19 - Isaiah Philmore played big in the second half, utilizing his high motor and scoring inside and converted on and one opportunities. Defensively, he kept Dunbar away from interior points with less than two minutes to play. His energy was the pace car late in the game but the John Carroll bus just ran out of gas in the end. Philmore scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the defeat.

Saturday 12/22 - John Carroll junior forward Isaiah Philmore had his way in a 50-43 win over Bishop Verot on Saturday morning. The 6-foot-7 forward scored 29 points (7-13 FG, 14-19 FT) and grabbed 14 rebounds.

Offers now from Virginia Tech, Marquette, Abuurn, St. Joesph and Virginia. Kansas State is listed as an interested school but all the others are from the East. There hasn't been any mention of interest in returning to the Sunflower State in sometime.

UCF has offered. I believe that brings the list to those mentioned above by Trop and George Washington, Nebraska, Miami-FL, Rhode Island and South Florida.

He did say he doesn't care where the school is located. He just wants a place where he'll get PT and has a coach that will help him develop his game to give him the best shot of playing professionally.

They also say he could play SF

Rivals puts him at 142 and 38 at PF.

=>Recent recruiting story. I can confirm that "Miami of Ohio" is a misprint. It is Miami "of Florida":

Philmore working hard
Bel Air, Md., power forward Isaiah Philmore is one of the top 100 players in the nation.

But he wants to be ranked higher.

The 6-7 Philmore, playing with the Delaware Sharpshooters, said he's working hard this summer on his shooting and ballhandling.

"I spend two hours a day dribbling and shooting pull-ups," he said. "I just want to get better, and I know that's where I can improve."

Philmore's stock is already high. He has scholarship offers from George Washington, Rhode Island, Miami of Ohio and Virginia Tech, and he said he's also heard from Kentucky and Louisville. He's also interested in Indiana.

"I'm looking hard at George Washington, but I really don't have any kind of list or anything," Philmore said. "I'm just looking around at all of my options."
