New Recruit - Brian Fabrizius.

February 11, 2011 at 11:41 am
Filed under Basketball, Princeton, Recruiting

The fourth member of Princeton's 2011 recruiting class is both the rawest prospect as well as the most intriguing one.

6'11" Brian Fabrizius, a post-graduate player at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire announced earlier in the week that he would join Sydney Johnson's Tigers in the academic class of 2015, pending admission.

Fabrizius missed the majority of his senior season at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, IL with a pair of injuries. This morning I spoke at length with KUA head coach Mike Olson, who shared his observations about the newest Princeton recruit. His quotes and analysis plus links to additional evaluations and videos can be found after the jump.

Read full, detailed profiles on all four members of Princeton's '11 class including exclusive interviews with each of their high school coaches here.

John Thompson III won for the first time in the Carrier Dome. Georgetown (19-5) outscored Syracuse 15-3 in the final 6:40 of a 64-56 Hoya victory.

Princeton's win over Penn on Tuesday has brought memories of a lot of Quaker/Tiger finishes to the front of my mind over the prior 24 hours. One that stands out, perhaps because of the three technical fouls in the last nine seconds or perhaps because Jack Eggleston was also involved in the conclusion, is a 70-65 Penn win at the Palestra in 2008.
