St. Bonaventure guard and former Archbishop Ryan standout Izaiah Brockington, who announced three days ago that he will be transferring, will most likely visit Temple -- potentially this week.
Brockington, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound lefty, would sit out a year and have three more seasons to play. A source I spoke with today about his recruitment said Brockington will be able to transfer up, not down. Of course, the Bonnies went to the NCAA Tournament this season and beat UCLA in a first four game, so he obviously played for a very good program and team this past season.
Brockington is also a year younger than his grade level, so there are people who feel sitting out a year could really help him.
Brockington's minutes waned at the end of the season as Mark Schmidt tightened his rotation, but the freshman scored in double figures five times, including a career- and season-high 20 against TCU. He played 32 minutes in his only start of the season in St. Bonaventure's upset win over Maryland back on Nov. 24. He averaged 4.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game in 34 games. His shooting numbers were pretty good, 44.1 percent overall and 41.5 percent on threes (22 of 53.) He played nine minutes in the Bonnies' NCAA win over UCLA and did not score and had five points in five minutes in the second-round NCAA loss to Florida.
This is a quick highlight reel Brockington posted to Twitter, but it gives you an idea of his shooting stroke and athleticism.
