Isiah Harwell, the No. 13 recruit in the class of 2025, according to On3’s Industry Rankings, capped off an impressive high school basketball career at Wasatch Academy. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard will join the Houston Cougars next season.
Harwell appeared elated by South Carolina Gamecocks forward Collin Murray-Boyles’ decision to declare for the 2025 NBA Draft. Murray-Boyles shared a heartfelt message for South Carolina in an Instagram post, which Harwell re-shared on his story with a five-word reaction:
"YES CMB I LOVE ITTTT," Harwell wrote, tagging Murray-Boyles.

Here's the original post by the forward:
In his post, Murray-Boyles thanked the city of Columbia and the Gamecocks for "shaping me into basketball and most importantly, the person I am today."
"South Carolina will always be home! I couldnt have gotten here without everyone who has been in my corner since day one. With excitement and motivation, I would like to announce that I am declaring for the 2025 NBA Draft,'' Collin Murray-Boyles said.
