Isaiah Aminzadeh '26 Recruiting Profile

Love and passion aren’t the same thing.  You can love something, but not be passionate enough to make it part of your life. To me, basketball is a mix of love and passion: my love for basketball makes me look forward to every practice and every game, and my passion drives me to constantly improve.

In games and at practice my goal is to make the right play.  On defense, it’s playing hard-nosed, physical defense while continuously communicating with my teammates.  On offense, it’s finding the open man, screening, taking a three or going to the rim.  My common denominator across offense and defense is hustle: diving after loose balls, fighting through screens, boxing out and getting my hands on every possible rebound.

I’m coachable and I’m a good student that strives to excel at both academics and athletics.  I want to find the right college where I can push myself academically and where I can play team basketball at the highest level of competition possible.
