Isaiah Stewart has emerged as one of the top post players in the 2019 class and currently comes in as the No. 37 overall player in the 2019 Rivals150. With his play so far this travel season in the Nike EYBL, the City Rocks star has seen his recruitment really pick up.
Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh are his most recent offers. The New York native says Marquette, Maryland, Georgetown and Xavier are the schools really prioritizing him right now. Syracuse has also offered and Duke has started to show a little interest.
IN HIS OWN WORDS
Maryland: “I like their program. I think it’s a really good program. I would love to visit and see how it goes and meet their staff.”
Marquette: “They have been telling how they want to really recruit me hard and build a relationship with my family. It’s a good program.”
Georgetown: “Georgetown is a really good program. I’m a fan of Patrick Ewing. Growing up, I used to always see highlights of him.”
Xavier: “That’s another program that said they want to start recruiting me hard. They have picked it up lately.”
WHAT'S NEXT?
Stewart doesn’t have any visits planned right now, but he did mention that Duke, Maryland and Xavier have all been working to get him on campus for an unofficial visit. He’ll be finishing the travel season next month with the City Rocks. A decision likely won’t be coming soon.
RIVALS' REACTION
It’s very early in the process, but the four schools Stewart said are pushing the hardest right now all seem to have his full attention. For a kid from New York, even though he was born after Patrick Ewing left the Knicks, it will be interesting to see how Ewing being the new Georgetown head coach will factor into his recruitment.
