Prayers to Isiah Briscoe

Yeah. I ran across it on IG as well but couldn't find anything on Google. Hope he is ok and not just as a fan. Head injuries are a scary thing sometimes from a life perspective.
 
This will be open season now for those who didn't want him doing usa ball.
 
Man we can't keep our guys off the injured list the last three or four years, get better Mr Briscoe
 
Rivals’ TJ Walker spoke with Briscoe’s father, who said the extent of his son’s injury is still unknown, but he is “fine” and in good spirits. He’ll be evaluated tomorrow.
 
Praying for Briscoe. Sports Injuries in general are frightening and potententially life-changing and fortune-changing for these guys. Especially when you look at guys like Embiid.

Would love to see Isaiah take the summer off to heal and come into the season healthy and ready to showcase his skills.
 
Prayers for the kid. Saddens me that he will not be able to participate with Team USA, but he should now focus on getting to campus, and letting the staff care for him.
 
Gotta love his Dad's quote on the matter:

"It's a win-win," George Briscoe said. "He's fine either way. Worst case scenario he has to go to Kentucky and start preparing for the season with his teammates. That's a bad thing? He'll be fine either way."

Sounds like a good dude and great father. Can't wait for him to get here!

Best Wishes for a rapid recovery for Isiah! I can only imagine the disappointment he feels that he won't be able to compete with the USA U19 Team. Afterall, that's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Briscoe's father definetly has the right attitude, especially for a UK fan, but I'm afraid Isiah might not feel the same way. My main concern is that he gets 100% healthy?
 
Really feel bad for the kid as this experience seemed to mean something very special to him. He's a very tough competitor so I'm sure he is feeling very bummed right now that he has been replaced on the team. I know it's a great thing that he will be coming to UK sooner and likely back on the floor very soon but I hate to see this opportunity taken from him as something like that is one of those once in a lifetime type of experiences. Best wishes to him for a very speedy recovery.

University of Kentucky signee Isaiah Briscoe will be unable to continue with the Team USA U19 squad after suffering a concussion during Thursday’s practice, USA Basketball announced Friday morning.

Virginia Tech guard Justin Bibbs will replace Briscoe on the team, which will compete at the FIBA world championships in Greece later this month.

“I feel very bad for Isaiah. He had a tremendous attitude and was one of our overall best players and one of our leaders of the team,” said USA U19 head coach Sean Miller of Arizona. “It is very, very unfortunate to see him get injured in what was really a two-on-two drill. But the good news is I know he’ll recover and be fine; the bad news is he won’t be able to play on our team.”

Briscoe is expected to join his future teammates at UK soon.

The Team USA U19 squad also includes top UK recruiting targets Harry Giles, Josh Jackson and Jayson Tatum.
 
Haha.. Now we are elevating Briscoe to God status. Let him win us a championship first before we do that. ;)
 
Find me one instance where a concussion just *poof* disappeared because of prayer, and I will pray for him.
 
Different strokes for different folks but with everything going on in the world today , mass killings in churches , people dying of cancer every day , terminally ill chidren , and american soldiers on foreign soil with their lives in danger , a basketball player missing a tournament because of a concussion just doesn't seem important enough to call on the big guy . I don't want to be like the little boy that cried wolf .

Didn't realize that there was a set number of things that one could pray for. Well this is news to me.
