NCAA Basketball: Analyzing the 4 options for Penn State transfer Izaiah Brockington

The Penn State Nittany Lions Basketball program has undergone a number of changes, including three different head coaches in a span of 14 months. After hiring Micah Shrewsberry this offseason, several players on the roster elected to stay, while others opted to leave. One of them was Izaiah Brockington, a 6’4 junior guard that was second on the team in both scoring and rebounding this past season at 12.6 ppg and 4.9 rpg.

Brockington originally started his NCAA Basketball career at Saint Bonaventure, where he averaged a few points a game in 12 mpg as a reserve. He transferred and sat out a season at Penn State, before putting up around eight points a game in 21 mpg off the bench.

The guard was elevated into the starting lineup this past season, where he saw his production increased. In the first 13 games of the season, Brockington averaged 15 ppg, including scoring 20+ points on three different occasions. His numbers dipped a bit in the second of the season as Myreon Jones and others produced more but the junior guard showed that he can be a solid starting guard at the power conference level.

Now in the transfer portal, Brockington would be considered among the second-tier of perimeter free-agent options. His 28% shooing from three-point range has to be considered concerning but he’s an extremely athletic two-way player that can drive to the basket and create his own offense.

We’re down to four options for Brockington, with a decision potentially coming within the next few days. Which of these programs is the best fit for the former Nittany Lion? Here’s a closer look at the potential partnerships.
