Cougars Eye Colorado's Guard for Transfer Portal

The Houston Cougars coaching staff is reportedly considering a move for Colorado guard Isaiah Johnson from the transfer portal. This strategic consideration comes after the team's successful 2025-26 season, which culminated in a Sweet Sixteen appearance. Johnson, a 6-foot-1 player who was a 3-star recruit out of high school, demonstrated significant potential during his freshman season with the Buffaloes.

Johnson led Colorado in scoring, averaging 16.9 points per game across 32 appearances. His all-around game included averages of 2.6 rebounds and 3 assists per contest. He proved to be a highly efficient scorer, shooting 48.6% from the field and 37.8% from beyond the arc. Furthermore, Johnson maintained an 82.1% success rate from the free-throw line, making him a potent offensive threat that could significantly bolster the Cougars' roster.
