BALTIMORE – Isaiah Hart (Morrow, Georgia/Whitefield Academy) and Brent Holcombe (Miami, Florida/Coral Reef High School) have signed National Letters of Intent and will join the Loyola University Maryland men's basketball program, Head Coach G.G. Smith announced today.
The duo will join Luke Johnson (Lexington, Kentucky/Lexington Catholic High School) and River Reed (San Antonio, Texas/Reagan High School) to form the Greyhounds Class of 2021.
"We're excited to round out next year's freshman class with these two guys," Smith said. "Isaiah will give us a lot of depth at the point with the ability to score as well. He comes out of a school with a great tradition. Brent is a four-man who can step out and shoot the three, handle the ball and spread the floor. He's another great kid from a great school in Miami. They're both smart players who play extremely hard."
