Baylor lands transfer portal commitment from Yale’s Isaac Celiscar

Celiscar put together performances good enough to be named second-team All-Ivy League. He averaged 13.2 points while shooting 57.3% from the field and 40.7% on his three-point attempts. Yale called on him in other ways as well. Celiscar finished as the team’s second-leading rebounder with 6.3 per game, also adding 3.2 assists.

“It’s different, it’s not what we signed up for,” Yale head coach James Jones said after Celiscar announced his intentions to leave. “It’s still great and we have to wait it [out]. We have to find a way to make it continue to be great. But it’s not a lot of fun with everything that we have to do all the time. So, it is what it is and we’ll keep putting our heads down and keep trying to win.”

Drew is certainly attempting to get back to winning ways in Waco. Baylor had an unusual down season this past year, not even making the NCAA Tournament. This broke a six-year streak (with the COVID-19 season in the middle) of getting into the big dance. Not too long ago, the Bears cut down the nets for a national championship.

Additions such as Celiscar are being made to help Baylor get back there. He becomes the third player out of the portal this offseason to pledge to the Bears.
