Isaiah Briscoe Cuts List

[otp85]

Did you say Shabazz Napier?

I don't like to. As far as I'm concerned Shabazz goes straight to the Mt. Rushmore of UCONN. For me, that's far too much to put on a kid before he actually steps on the court.

That said, I have compared them before. More in attitude than style. There are times when you watch Briscoe and you can see that no matter what he is going to find a way to win. He gets his shot off with the smallest of spaces and has a knack for making tough shots, especially in the clutch.

He's been atop my wishlist for a long time now.

This is essentially what I meant with my previous comment. Obviously I was being sarcastic, maybe not obvious through text, but I meant his drive and will to win. Haven't watched him play, but your comments made me think of Shabazz.

@AdamZagoria: @_IsaiahBriscoe has cut his list to UConn, Arizona, Louisville, St. John's, Seton Hall & Rutgers, his dad tells @SNYtv

how on earth are the last three teams listed with the first three teams? that's just messed up

IDK, do we really want somebody who's considering who RU?

OK, he's just a kid, I'll cut him some slack

It could be because he's a local kid, he's really considering his local options and would like to be known as the trailblazer who got one of those programs turned around. ....OR he realizes that by keeping them in his final six, those three are getting publicity and attention that they normally don't receive which could end up helping them secure other pretty good players. I don't think it's the first option, but if it's the second, it's a pretty cool move on his part.
