He was expected to be cleared for preseason practices and indeed, the guard is active and practicing with the Aggies. After starting last season on pace for a career year, averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists, Isaacs figures to hold down the point guard spot in College Station in 2025-2026.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Full clearance expected soon Isaacs (knee) is on track to be fully cleared by September and probable for Texas A&M's preseason activities, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact It appears that not long after Isaacs was cleared for a hip injury, another health problem arose. Fortunately for him, he is not expected to miss any time. Texas A&M's regular season begins in November, so full clearance and acclimation before then should allow him to smoothly begin his TAMU career when the campaign comes. But for the time being, there is still recovery work to be done on his part.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to return Isaacs (hip) is fully cleared for basketball-related activities, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Just a little over one month after flipping his commitment from Houston to Texas A&M, Issacs is ready to go for TAMU's 2025-26 season.

He also averaged 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists, truly versatile production. However, the question is how much Isaacs' production will translate to the SEC and Texas A&M, in what could be a tougher conference and for a new team.

Impact Isaacs looked to replace Milos Uzan at Houston.
