San Diego State announced the addition of Isaiah Sy, a 22‑year‑old wing who spent the previous season at Oregon State, to its men’s basketball roster. Sy averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, shooting 35.4 % from three‑point range and 87.1 % from the free‑throw line, starting 29 of 33 contests and reaching double‑digit scoring on 16 occasions.
His arrival follows the season‑ending ACL injury suffered by Nick Anderson, a loss that left a void in the frontcourt. Coach Brian Dutcher views Sy as a player who can immediately contribute shooting and rebounding, adding depth to a squad that now counts 12 scholarship athletes.
A Blend of Experience and Fresh Talent
The Aztecs’ roster reflects a mix of returning veterans and new faces. In addition to four players who started last season and two more from the previous eleven‑player rotation, the team includes European professionals, transfers and a true freshman. This composition gives the club a more seasoned and skillful identity, though some analysts note a slight reduction in raw athleticism compared to earlier editions.
A Reunion in the Pac‑12
Sy is slated to face his former team when the Aztecs meet Oregon State in the revived Pac‑12 schedule. The Beavers, under new head coach Justin Joyner, will field a roster that looks markedly different from the one Sy left, promising a compelling storyline for fans.
With the new piece in place, San Diego State hopes to translate its enhanced experience into a competitive edge as the season unfolds.
