LMU’s 7-foot-1 rim protector brings efficiency, blocks, and grown-man reliability
Rick Issanza is a classic impact-big for Loyola Marymount: in the 2025-26 season, he played 30 games with 17 starts, led the team in field-goal percentage at 66.7%, and ranked third in the WCC with 43 blocks (1.43 per game). He’s not a high-usage scorer, but he gives you real size, rim protection, and low-mistake minutes, plus the kind of academic and locker-room steadiness coaches love. If your team needs a towering, defensive anchor who knows his role and finishes efficiently, he’s a fit.
