This kid is a 6'3"ish PG out of Virginia and has recently been picking up a lot of big time offers. LSU, Marquette, Villanova, Georgetown, and Virginia Tech have all offered recently.
He's pretty athletic, has NBA range on his shot, and seems pretty crafty. His handle definitely needs improvement and honestly I'm not sure he projects as a PG. Not really sure where he'll end up in rankings, but I'd guess he's somewhere around low 4 star imo

Here's a link to his junior highlights
That dunk at the 0:30 mark was enough for me. Sign em up!
Did he get hit with a charge on that?!?
When you poster someone like that in HS, it should never be a charge. You may have to apologize to the other kid's family, but definitely not get called for a charge.
YEESH! Fire the cameraman!
Thanks for the video nj, this kid can really shoot, legit 25-30 foot range, great vision, shoots so well that it allows him to easily blow by people to the basket, high effort guy on defense, great passer and high bball IQ.
Would love to have this kid, like Nik, he's not just a shooter.
We offered an unranked point guard??!?
#FIREHARBAUGH
So Don Brown is recruiting for Howard too? Outrage! /s
I haven't had a chance to dig into this at all. He's a true 2021 and not a candidate to reclassify, right?
Eager to hear Matt's take.
Can he enroll this year? We have 2 openings for some crazy reason. 3 dudes left with massive playing time futures at a Big school.
Nunez 2.0
They're completely different players
Though not as tall, he's more comparable to Franz than Nunez game-wise.
Agreed
Much more informative than my post - thanks. Curious what guards the staff is pushing right now.
Warm bodies: we need them.
Just watched some film. Hard to really evaluate given the competition level (or lack thereof as it relates to his HS film).
Preliminary thoughts are this kid is a legit shooter, particularly when his feet are set, with a quick release and range out to 30 feet.
Very good vision.
Has some physical limitations and doesn't move all that well. Physically developed frame. Hopefully he's a legit 6'3-6'4, that would circumvent some of his athletic limitations at the college level.
What's your take on what position he projects at? I just can't see him as a B1G PG. I like him as a player, but I just can't see him running the offense
Caveats apply because I've haven't viewed Brizzi live and I've only watched about 6 minutes worth of film, but I can envision some issues against ball-pressure when defended by quicker guards.
Though I don't know how often that issue would hypothetically present itself, given the B10 isn't necessarily a conference with great athletes overall.
That in tandem with ballscreens may mitigate the issue to a large extent.
He's unique player with point-guard like vision and playmaking, but not the movement/overall athleticism that you'd like to see from a kid projected to play a good deal on the ball.
That's why I think size matters here. If he's a legit 6'3-64, he can bully smaller guards. If he's only a legit 6'1, that's a different story. His movements/shooting remind a lot of Jalen Brunson form Villanova.
They have a ton of similarities as physically developed PGs that don't move that well/aren't that athletic.
Jalen Brunson is a huge compliment. Heck, even if he's more Stu Douglas I'm still interested as a long-term rotation player in the combo-guard role. Like someone else said, with 7-8 open spots next year we're going to need a nice mix of immediate-impact and long-term contributor players.
Villanova knows players when it comes to Italian sounding names. So I hope we get him. Lord knows we have room

I know you're trying to say "hur dur bad offer list hur dur," but Colorado, GW, Virginia Tech, LSU, Marquette, Villanova, Georgetown, Iona (Rick Pitino offer) is a solid offer list
I included Colorado, GW and VA Tech.
Why are LSU, Marquette and Villanova not included on his 247 profile?
EDIT: They have it in the timeline section, but haven't updated his college list yet.
Rick Pitino offered him from Iona. Does Pitino not know talent?
It's weird how you forgot to include his offers from LSU, Marquette, Villanova, and Georgetown. Almost like you were trying to paint a picture to your liking without using all of the data...
His 247 profile says nothing about an offer from Villanova or Marquette, not yet at least.
Maybe you should double check the data, I listed all 12 of his reported 247 offers.
God damn, some of our fan base can be such fucking bitches sometimes.
The kid himself has reported offers from those programs. That’s a pretty good source I’d say.
You sound like the fucking bitch.
Maybe you should double check the data, since they are all listed on his 247 timeline, and the kid reported them himself.
Don't be so hard on yourself with your last line there bud.
Fellas, let's calm down a bit with the offers bickering.
Verbal commits is generally a decent source to verify an offer list.
Thanks for the link!
Bickering? A user posted trying to be unnecessarily negative and didnt have his facts straight and he was a jerk about it. He got corrected.
He came to this board and tried to burn it down. But we...CORRECTED him. And when Maizen tried to stop us from doing our duty, we...CORRECTED him too.
Wow he gets his shot off quick!
Can he play DT?
There are going to be some 3 stars in this class guys. Were going to have space for 7 or 8 scholarships next season and were not going to sign only top 50 players.
*Saving this comment for "Old takes exposed".
*????
Brian Snow basically said this kid would have blown up if they had a chance to evaluate the end of his high school and spring AAU seasons. He’ll be a 4 star top 100 soon enough.
I’m not nearly the authority on basketball that some others around here are, but they kid looks like a legit scorer for sure. His handles are a bit odd, the ball seems to get high or he loses his handle at times, then at other times you see him dribbling in tight spaces and making baskets out of nothing. I think he would be a great get for this program and could see him and Zeb on the floor together in an interesting dual-combo lineup where either is really able to run the point and allow the other to dart jumpers, forcing the defense to be able to switch onto two point guards and shooting guards, not knowing which would initiate the offense. Always good to have a lefty too!
Reminds me on that guy Texas Tech had last year. Had to pretty check him at half court. Dude had the Donte DiVincenzo green light and was usually money from out there.
Brizzi’s Honor
If Jay Wright is offering im then thats enough for me to believe the kid is seriously underrated
