BEARS GET 2021 Verbal

A pickup that likely will fly a bit under the radar, the Bears get a verbal from 2021 6'2 guard Isaac Haney. Haney plays for small town Dora Mo. about 2 hours from Springfield; Dora is a class 1 level school, the smallest schools in Mo. He jumped up in a lot of recruiters attention when his school played Oklahoma Heritage Hall in a tournament earlier this year and he scored 32 and outplayed Trey Alexander who is the national #41 player in his class. Haney plays for former Bear Robert Yander's AAU team , Yander's Law in the summer and also drives the 2 hours twice a week in the off season to get additional work in at the Basketball Movement Gym founded by Yanders . Yander's Law also is the AAU team of Anton Brookshire who plays for Springfield Kickapoo and who also holds a MSU scholarship offer in the 2021 class. Bears would love to get a verbal from Brookshire as well, but his list of suitors is pretty long and stiff comp. Haney averaged 22 ppg as a frosh and 25 ppg as a sophmore. He's very skilled, needs to keep growing and fill out his frame a bit, but he can play .

This kid can flat out score the ball. Really good ball handler as well. Good local pickup. One of those small town guys that, if he lived in STL or KC, really would have gotten a lot more attention I think.

Offers were from Missouri State, Cleveland State, Grambling, and Texas State.

He said that he didnt intend to commit anywhere until next season but fell in love with Missouri State as a local kid, especially after his visit. He has made the 2 hour drive to every home game ever since the Bears offered him a scholarship.
