Mount Vernon point guard Isaiah Cousins has committed to Oklahoma, head coach Bob Cimmino confirmed to SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-4 Cousins chose the Sooners over Virginia Tech, UConn, Dayton and Xavier, Cimmino said.
“Isaiah is a 6-4 point guard who attacks the rim, hits the 3 and is a gym rat,” Cimmino said. “He never takes a play off and has elevated his game tremendously in the last year.”
The list of players to come out of “Money Earnin’ Mount Vernon” in recent years includes Ben Gordon of the Detroit Pistons, former Rutgers players Mike Coburn and Jonathan Mitchell, George Mason’s Sherrod Wright and West Virginia’s Kevin Jones and Jabarie Hinds.
Cousins led Mount Vernon to its seventh straight Section 1 title and was named First-Team Tri-County by the Westchester County Coaches Association.
He had 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists, five steals and two blocks March 19 when Mount Vernon won the Class AA state championship game at the Civic Center in Albany.
Cousins then scored 13 points when the Knights (23-3) lost to Brooklyn Boys & Girls in the New York State Federation Class AA Tournament of Champions.
