In School Visits For Talented Forward

Brad Byerson, a 6-8, 235 pound power forward from Colonial Heights, VA, told RivalsHoops.com tonight that his recruiting is open. "I'm waiting to hear what schools have to say," he said.

Byerson told us tonight that George Washington and Dayton have done in school visits. "I am getting a lot of mail right now from the Big East to the Pac Ten," Byerson said. "So I am open. I just have to see who will be interested in me after I play this summer."

Byerson, who averaged 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3.2 assists and two steals as a junior for Thomas Dale High School, will be playing with the Richmond Squires this summer. He'll be at the adidas ABCD camp in Teaneck, NJ, in July. "I may be at the Southern Invitational tournament," Byerson said. "That is in a couple of weeks."

Byerson will be taking the SAT this coming Saturday (May 4, 2002) and the ACT on June 8th. He said that a school's geographic location will not prevent his considering it as a future college.

The well-spoken young man does have a potential major - architectural engineering.
