Welcome to the Tribe Isaiah Mbeng! PG from Potomac, MD with deep range and nice quickness. Great first pickup for Coach Earl and it's gonna be fun to watch him play in Coach Earl's system!

Looks like an Ivy League connection. I believe his brother plays at Yale and seems to be quite the defensive player.

If he is anything like his brother playing for Yale (and it looks like he is), then this is a very good commit for the Tribe.

His brother has one more year at Yale then he’s ours.

If he plays next year at Yale, won't his brother have used all year or was 2021-2022 a free year?

Either way, welcome Isaiah

Welcome, Zae. Nice to have you aboard.

To transfer and play at W&M, Bez would have to:
A) Do exceptional in the classroom and graduate early. Leaving a final year of eligibility. Not sure this happens much at the Ivy level.
B) Not make a wise decision & Decide to forgo his Yale Degree, transfer, and play his Sr year here.
C) Suffer a preseason or early season injury forcing him to sit out. This would likely cause him to graduate with a year of eligibility remaining.
D) Decide to sit out and preserve a year of eligibility. Highly doubtful this would happen and im not sure this even is done in the Ivy league.

And why would he do any of this? Just to play with his brother? He's already in line to get a great degree playing at an elite academic program just off of a league title and huge NCAA win. Fun to speculate, but i cant see it happening.

Now, if Yale's coach leaves, i hear Bez graduated, or I hear he had to sit out his Jr year for whatever reason, ill happily be back on board.

Welcome Mr. Mbeng!

Anyone have a scout on him? There's very little online. Even with him playing right in my backyard.

IMO, Zae Mbeng fits what Earl is trying to do perfectly. He's attack, attack, attack, both offensively and defensively. He's cat quick and able to pester ball handlers & shoot passing lanes. Offensively, he shows the ability to get downhill to the rim and hit the 3 with range.
