At third school in three years, Isaiah Abraham could thrive at Kansas State

MANHATTAN — Playing at one of the biggest high school basketball tournaments in the country, Isaiah Abraham was asked to take on numerous roles over a three-day span in order to help lift his team to a Bass Pro Tournament of Champions title.

Facing a loaded field, which featured the likes of Ace Bailey, Brandon McCoy, and Jeremiah Wilkinson, Abraham was asked to shut down the opposing team's best player.

In a semifinal game, Abraham, then a UConn commit, held Bailey, the fifth overall pick in last year's NBA Draft, to eight points on 3 of 14 shooting. The following night, he helped Paul VI (Virginia), the No. 1 team in the country, lift the championship trophy over their heads in the end.

It was in that three-day stretch when Paul VI coach Glenn Farello recognized that Abraham would be a really good high-major basketball player. Two years later, now that Abraham is transferring to Kansas State, his third school in three years, that opinion hasn't changed.
