The University of Nevada, Las Vegas announced that its men’s basketball program has added Isaiah Mack‑Russell, a top‑100 prospect from Ohio, to the roster for the 2027‑28 season.
Mack‑Russell is a 6‑foot‑5 forward who played his high‑school career at Winton Woods in Cincinnati. 247Sports rates him the nation’s 88th‑ranked player in the class of 2027 and the sixth‑best prospect in Ohio. As a junior he posted 23.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 58 percent from the floor and 37 percent from three‑point range.
The recruit chose UNLV over several other programs that pursued him, including Ohio State, Cincinnati, Xavier, Nebraska, Arizona State, Virginia and Creighton.
Mack‑Russell’s basketball lineage includes his late grandfather, Louis Orr, an All‑American at Syracuse whose No. 55 jersey was retired by the school.
