Briscoe to Big Blue Nation
Just minutes after one five-star prospect picked Kentucky, another followed as Isaiah Briscoe made his college pick.

Shortly after Skal Labissiere announced that he would play his college ball for the Wildcats on ESPNU, Briscoe followed suit.
"Next year I will attend the University of Kentucky," said Briscoe on ESPNU. "Everything about Kentucky made me want to attend the school. Playing with great players and after my experience playing with great players at USA Basketball I think I can handle paying with great players and right now
John Wall has a machine going on with getting players to the NBA."
The No. 9 player in the class of 2015, Briscoe is a 6-foot-3 point guard at Roselle (N.J.) Catholic.
Stylistically, there is a lot about Briscoe that is similar to current NBA point guard Kyle Lowry. He is physical, he loves to attack off the dribble, he gets to the foul line and he is a bit of an offense first point guard who is capable of setting up others as well.
While Briscoe can really score, he is a bit of streaky outside shooter and at times his shooting percentages can suffer from poor shot selection.
Briscoe said during the broadcast that while he is committing to Kentucky, he will not sign until the spring so that he can watch how the roster shapes up.
Now that Briscoe has joined Labissiere and four-star shooting guard Charles Matthews, Kentucky's class will move to No. 2 nationally.
