Sanders playing in Ballislife/Army All-American game Tomorrow....

Thanks for the info. I did see Sanders play a game a couple weeks ago that was in Florida but going against Briscoe should be nice to see.
Sanders team is killing the other team. Sanders had a steal and a huge highlight dunk in the first half and broke someone's ankles on a dribble drive another time but missed the jump shot. Couple of turnovers but it was when he was screwing around. He has either 4 or 6 points in the first half.
Game got real close, actually lost the lead. At the end a Corey made some key plays. Layup, no look assist, saved a ball that lead to a dunk.
Also earlier d-up on Briscoe causing a foul on Briscoe.
Finished with 11 points, missed 3 of 4 foul shots, but he is not a bad foul shooter, good form, shouldn't be an issue with better concentration. One on one he can pretty much beat his man.

Exactly what MadRU said. Corey's team fell behind by 3 with about 40 seconds left when he made a great shot driving to the hoop. After a turnover he made an unbelievable pass for a dunk to put his team up by 1. He also saved a ball that led to a basket to put his team up 3. With 9 seconds left the other team had two 3 point attempts that both missed. Briscoe missed the first one. I think he finished with about 25 points but he lived on the foul line. In the first half it seemed like he was the only guy getting the calls to shoot foul shots. I think he was 9-14. He is so strong in the upper body that it still amazes me that Linden and Otis Livingston bested him and Roselle Catholic 2 out of 3 times. I also believe Corey had 11 points or possibly 13. He did only make 1-4 on free throws and he tried to do a little too much a few times but he definitely is a very good player. The last minute showed how competitive he is when his team (Team Elite) fell behind by 3 after leading the entire game. The other team had most of the McDonald's All Americans and most thought they would win. I don't usually care much for All Star games but it was nice to see Corey play. I think our fans will love him. Eddie just needs to harness him a little. He must play in the team concept.
I watched tonight's game and of course it had all of the limitations (or should I say lack of limits) of any other all-star game, but it was packed with elite talent (kids going to Kentucky, Arizona, UCONN, etc.). Sanders showed he belonged at this level and really his plays at the end of the game were the deciding factor in the game. At this point Briscoe is a better basketball player than Sanders. Briscoe is very crafty and skilled as he can score in many different ways but doesn't have the top end athleticism. Sanders like Briscoe plays with alot of confidence and aggressiveness. However, I think Sanders may have a higher upside as he definitely posseses elite athletic ability (super fast twitch/explosiveness), excellent handle, and has room to further refine his basketball skills. Can't wait to see this young man On the Banks this Fall!
Yes, i would have liked to see him shoot jump shots and foul shots better, but obviously it was a small sample. Also its a skill that can be improved with alot of practice.
He showed me a hell of a lot.
We have a point guard that not only can turn the corner, but always looks to pass! I was more impressed with his assists in the 2nd half. After missing 3 FT's down the stretch, he breaks down the D and passes a beautiful no look pass to put them up in the last minute of the game.
Kid showed me a hell of a lot. Loved his D (you can tell he will be a 100% effort guy) !!!!!!
That being said, Biscoe......wow! he is a stud!

RUaepI, good stuff. That is what we need. If he plays defense well, we will be a 16+ win season if it's effort all the time. If guards don't play d, well get wrecked. I hope he brings that effort here. Him and Mike Williams and we'll see 16+ wins.
Briscoes game reminds me of james harden. Big, physical kid who is very,very crafty around the rim.

Briscoe is good but He can't come close to Corey comparing athleticism. Corey has Elite athleticism for a guard. If he was 2 inches taller at 6'4, he would not be coming to Rutgers people. Coaches in Lakeland are saying he still can grow 2 to three more inches.
Why wouldn't he be coming to Rutgers if he were taller? This is a inept comment. Sanders already turned down some pretty good programs to come to RU.
We gotta stop thinking that Rutgers is some second rate also-ran destination.
Maybe EJ is a better recruiter than many posters think and maybe RU has alot going for it despite our facility issues? We will see.
