In Dallas, Texas, the “It Means More” event hosted by AOG + Big Foot Hoops has provided a stage for a number of prospects — but one name rose above: Isaiah Perkins, the 6’2″ + guard from Coalition in the class of 2029. He attends Royse City HS. His performance was nothing short of impressive, and he has cemented himself as a prospect to watch closely.
First Impressions & Context
At this stage in his development, Isaiah brings intrigue. He has reportedly grown multiple inches in recent months, adding more length to his frame, which gives him a more versatile presence on the wing and in ball-handling roles.
At “It Means More,” scouts and onlookers had a chance to see him live — and he passed the test.
What Stood Out
His jumpers weren’t just catch-and-shoot—he created space off the bounce and knocked down clean pull-ups. That ability to generate separation before shooting is a high-value trait. It tells you there’s more in his bag than just standstill touch.
Fast-Break Scoring
Perkins looked comfortable pushing the pace. When the floor opened, he attacked downhill, finishing in transition. His tempo control and decision-making in those moments displayed a maturity beyond many in his class.
Playmaking & Pull-Up Game
He showed glimpses of a “let me pull up on you” flair. Not forced, but confidently timed. In tight coverage, he slipped in mid-range jumpers rather than overextending. That kind of calm scoring is what separates elite guards from good ones. It’s clear he’s been working. His handle is steady, his footwork in screen-and-rolls is rooted, and his change-of-direction moves are crisp.
