Tigers add guard

Tramaine Isabell, a 6-foot-1 combo guard from Seattle, signed a scholarship Monday to join the Tigers starting this season.

"This is a great addition to our program," Missouri head coach Kim Anderson said in a release. "Tramaine is a strong, physical guard and his versatility to play either backcourt spot fits how we want to play offensively with multiple ball-handlers on the court. Tramaine is coming off a fantastic high school career in the Seattle-area and played for two great programs"

Isabell, a graduate of Garfield High School who was the Washington Class 4A Player of the Year last season, averaged 23.6 points and 3.5 assists per game to lead his team to the state title. Garfield finished 25-1 last season.

Isabell joins fellow incoming freshman D'Angelo Allen and Namon Wright as state champions during their prep careers. Allen won three state titles in Texas at Dallas Kimball, while Wright won as a junior at Pacific Hills in Los Angeles.

"What I really like about Tramaine is his passion for winning," Anderson said. "He is a tough kid, he scores the ball really well and wants the ball in big-game situations. We continue to need some backcourt depth throughout our classes and the addition of Tramaine helps us in that area."

Missouri still has one scholarship available for the upcoming season. The current roster features two seniors, two juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen.
