Isiah Harwell was the first five-star prospect who signed with Houston since 2012. Later, five-star player Chris Cenac Jr. also signed with Houston and became the highest-ranked recruit to be part of the program, taking that distinction away from Harwell.

Regardless, the duo has kindled a friendship since then. The fans are also excited to see them playing together in the future.

On Jan. 24, 'League Ready' shared a post with Cenac as the cover photo. The following slide showcases a clip of the player's performance at the Bass Pro Championship. Isaiah Harwell shared the post on his Instagram profile too.

“Get busy then kid,” Isiah Harwell captioned the post, displaying his support and admiration for Cenac in a playful way.

On Jan. 18, Link Academy solidified its dominance, once again, at the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions with a 67-55 championship victory over Oak Ridge (Orlando).

The win marked the Lions’ second tournament title in three years, and this has also improved their record to a perfect 6-0 in Tournament of Champions play.

Chris Cenac Jr. was the tournament's standout performer, which earned him MVP honors. The 6-foot-10 center showcased his versatile skillset. Despite the limited minutes he received due to fouls, he contributed 16 points, eight rebounds and two 3-pointers in the championship game.

After the win, Cenac told Springfield News-Leader:

"We just wanted to win a championship. We heard that we'd have a big crowd and that it'd be a lot of fun. It was everything that I was told.”
