Isaiah Collier

Isaiah Collier out of Marietta (Georgia) Wheeler saw his recruiting stock shoot through the roof in the middle of 2022. Yes, he was already a heavily courted prospect, but Collier battled back from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of the summer in 2022 with impressive outing after impressive outing. Collier was named MVP of the Steph Curry Camp – an event featuring around 25 of the nation’s best recruits. He was also named MVP of the Under Armour Elite 24 Camp. Then in his eight EYBL Circuit games with his AAU team, he averaged 15.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals. He is coached at Wheeler by Larry Thompson, who doubles as his uncle. Thompson believes the best is yet to come for Collier. “It’s great to have a guy, who is highly regarded as he is but still working and approaching the game on a daily basis,” Thompson said. “That dude is a hard worker. He is humble. He competes, and he makes everyone around him better. His calling card is getting better every single day. The younger guys, and it crazy to say he is one of the older guys now, see how he carries himself and want to follow that trend.”
