BREAKING: Texas Tech sophomore guard Pop Issacs told
@TheFieldOf68
he is transferring out of the Red Raiders program.

Isaacs averaged 15.8 points, 3.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds and led Texas Tech to the NCAA tourney this season.

Seems risky. Who will take him knowing about the allegations against him?

I'm fairly certain he will not be at Baylor!

Has it ever been articulated how this is different than anything that happened at baylor football "scandal"? Is it even worse?

It would be too late to do it with integrity if it is the case, but I would not be surprised if he is being pushed out by Tech.

Same thought came to my mind.

Seems fairly obvious McCasland and Tech were afraid they'd have a bad year without him so they chose to keep him and try to play for a conference title and a run in the NCAAs. They got neither. They're done with him now so they can move on and at the same time get rid of potential continuation of a problem. If it had been a scrub who did it he would have been gone immediately. Not that much different than the way a lot of schools would handle it. At least his was civil. Illinois just said what the hell we don't care with Shannon's criminal lawsuit.

There are probably plenty of coaches that would like to have a player with his talents. And some of them have few scruples.

Wonder why he is transferring, Tech isn't necessarily a bad program. Maybe he's ring chasing? That didn't work out to well for Hunter Dickinson

Maybe he's seeking bigger NIL deal.

Possibly the Mormons apparently

Texas Tech transfer Pop Issacs told @TheFieldOf68 that his 3 finalists are Creighton, St. John’s and BYU.

Isaacs will likely set up visits in the next couple days.

At least until the NIL dries up

I don't know I feel like he was better off at Tech. Too much controversy to stay I guess

Plaintiff dropped the allegations. Civil suit against former Texas Tech basketball player Pop Isaacs dismissed (lubbockonline.com). Wonder if the check cleared?

Think he will go on the overseas missions?

The last time he went overseas, it was in a missionary position.

Pop Isaacs makes his decision LIVE with @GoodmanHoops! Where will he play next season? | PRESENTED BY @BetMGM https://t.co/u51OQoF7lX

It's Creighton.

Looks like Pop Isaacs is going to Creighton:

Wow. Interesting

BREAKING: Creighton guard Pop Isaacs is expected to have hip surgery and sit out the rest of the season, source told @TheFieldOf68

Isaacs had surgery on the hip this past offseason and he’s been dealing with pain this season. Surgeon recommended Isaacs do it now to avoid…

He put on a display in his last game when they blew out KU Wednesday night. He must not have been able to recover after the game.

So Creighton was willing to take him under that cloud? Found that interesting and how tech didn't win enough for the media to care too much

Assuming he will ask for a medical redshirt to play next year. Wonder where he will end up?

From all accounts he was actually headed to St. Johns and Pitino who were willing to pay more than Creighton until they learned of potential medical issues and backed off. They may re-enter after the surgery if they feel he is better off and also gets the medical redshirt.
