Isaiah Briscoe Cuts List

[elduderino]

My first day on campus at uva I told a girl I was from CT and she asked me what state that was in...

Did you duckck her?

Tim Thomas

DeShaun Williams a gunner who went to the Cuse and later transferred to Iona(?) was on that team too. I can still hear Dukie V pointing that out in our games back then!

I really like Briscoe. He is a SG with quick moves, nice handle and can shoot. Arizona is probably the favorite right now but every year a surprise happens and I think we get him.

I don't know about that, all indications point to him wanting to stay close to home; couple that with the desire to play at a big time program and something about it all makes me like our chances.

Arizona is a big time program in their own right. If Briscoe was so sure about saying close to home, then Arizona wouldn't be on the list. He must really like them to make that kind of exception.

Agreed. I think the Arizona interest comes from his relationship with Sean Miller on the youth national teams. And Louisville is there because Pitino started coming at him hard almost as soon as we did. The rest are all close to home, it's not a list of big name schools.

And as the previous poster said, I wouldn't sleep on Seton Hall. I never thought they'd land a number of the recent recruits and they did so it's clear that staff can recruit.

A lot of peole hear CT and think Fairfield County (minus Bridgeport and Stratford)

 

[RichZ]

It seems like we always lose out on NJ guys. Have we ever had a big time recruit from NJ other than Andrew Bynum?

KFree was from Jersey originally. Don'y you recall the 87 times a game Dickie V or Fudgy Packer would tell us that Kfree had played with Tim Thomas at Patterson Catholic?

I think he lived in Springfield (East Longmeadow HS) MA most of his life no……….although I do sense some sarcasm in this reply Rich!

I don't think so- seemed like it was only a compliment, like "Briscoe's a nice player". Especially seems that way with Briscoe's response:

@_IsaiahBriscoe: “@rpurvis44: Isaiah Briscoe niceeeeeee!”Thanks Bro Appreciate It !!

Could this be Purvis trying to some recruiting himself?? Some of the football commits have done this with other recruits as well.

Also, could this mean Briscoe was on campus and playing with some of the guys on the team?

I was thinking this too.... just planting some seeds...

In this case I hope so. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Isiah Briscoe is a special player. He is that combination of basketball skill mixed with "you can't beat me" competitiveness. Gamer.

Could he co-exist well with Jalen?

Did you say Shabazz Napier?

 

[otp85]

Could he co-exist well with Jalen?

Yes. In fact, if you put Jalen's ability to get to the rim next to Briscoe's ability the hit contested jumpers and we could have the best tandem in the country if both stay 2/3 years. Plus they both willing play D, and if you ask me if it works at that end the offense will come. Scoring points is the easy part.

 

[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.
