"Coach Sampson is a cool dude.": Houston freshman Isiah Harwell on his decision to choose Houston

As a top-20 prospect, Isiah Harwell was one of the most sought-after players in high school basketball at the time of his recruitment. He had over 30 college offers, but eventually chose Houston from a final list that included Gonzaga, Texas, and California.

In an interview with ESPN, Harwell opened up about his decision to commit to the Houston Cougars, crediting Houston coach Kelvin Sampson as a major influence in that choice.

"Coach Sampson is a cool dude," Harwell said. "He knows what it takes for players to reach the next level. We talked about that. I need to shoot 38-40% from 3, average six or seven rebounds, and play defense on the opponent's best perimeter player. He said if you don't play defens,e you won't play at Houston."

Harwell is one of two five-star prospects set to join the Houston Cougars' freshman class next season, the other being 6-foot-10 Center Chris Cenac.
