Colorado basketball offers elite four-star 2027 small forward

Colorado men’s basketball recently put the finishing touches on its 2026-27 roster and is now building toward the future, offering four-star small forward Isaiah Santos.

Santos is from Katy, Texas, and is a top-100 overall player in the 2027 class. He ranks as the No. 78 overall, the No. 22 small forward and No. 5 overall recruit from Texas.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound forward holds 18 offers with several from top programs, including Houston, Illinois and Texas Tech.

He averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds and three assists in high school. Santos played for Brazil in the U18 AmeriCup recently, where he averaged 14.3 points and 8.7 rebounds.

Santos becomes Colorado’s first offer in the 2027 class, and while more offers will certainly come in, the Buffs have a young roster that might not have many roster spots to fill this upcoming offseason.

Santos is a different breed, an elite blue-chip prospect who would immediately become Colorado’s top player if he committed.
