UConn has landed a commitment from Northern Arizona transfer guard Isaiah Shaw, sources confirmed to ZAGSBLOG.

ESPN first reported the news.

The 6-foot-8 Shaw averaged 8.1 points and 2.6 rebounds last season while shooting 46% from deep.

Shaw spent two years at Grand Canyon and one at Valparaiso before moving on to Northern Arizona. UConn will be his fourth school.

Shaw joins transfers Jaye Nash, Oskar Giltay, Najai Hines, Nikolas Khamenia and Nils Machowski at UConn.

The newcomers join returners Solo Ball, Silas Demary Jr., Braylon Mullins, Jacob Ross and Jayden Ross along with incoming freshmen Junior County and Colben Landrew on the 2026-27 UConn roster.
