After reaching the NCAA national championship, Houston will get five-stars Isiah Harwell and Chris Cenac Jr. Both of them are expected to be a big boon to an already strong Cougars squad. Before he goes to Houston, however, 6-foot-10 center Chris Cenac showed off what he could do in Chicago at Saturday's Chris Brickley Invitational.

Chris Cenac Jr. proved that he is not just any big man, showing off his ball-handling skills, ability to attack the basket, defend and shoot from long range.

As for Harwell, the 6-foot-5 guard from Wasatch Academy did not play during the Chris Brickley Invitational. Other players who got to play, though, included Kentucky signee Malachi Moreno, UConn signee Eric Reibe, Syracuse signee Sadiq White and Arkansas signees Meleek Thomas and Darius Acuff Jr.

It was Louisville signee Mikel Brown Jr. who took home MVP honors after the game, as he dropped 29 points.

Harwell may not have played during the invitational, but he did play in some of the most prestigious All-American games of the postseason. Most notable was the McDonald's All-American Game on Apr. 1, which future teammate Chris Cenac Jr. was also a part of.
