Recruiting Report: 2021 Angelo Brizzi
Houston Wilson
<p>One of the local products that stood out last weekend at the <strong>Adidas Gauntlet Regional Qualifier</strong> in DC last weekend was 2021 <strong>Angelo Brizzi</strong> of <strong>Team BBC</strong>. Brizzi continued to show off great shooting but also did a nice job of getting teammates involved and showed a lot of toughness and energy. All of this is extra impressive as he was playing on the 17U side of things for the first time this spring.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have been playing 16s the whole Spring this past weekend was my first time playing 17s but for 16s we have been playing well and got ranked top 5 in the country, undefeated on the adidas circuit right now so everything is going well.”</span></p>
<p>He mentioned that he enjoyed the challenge of playing up, <span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is different, a little more physical, bigger bodies, stronger guards but I think I handled myself pretty well.”</span></p>
<p>Brizzi had a good high school season playing for the Highland school and is continuing to show that he can play a vitale role on a winning team during AAU.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I played for the Highland School in Virginia and it was a pretty successful season and I think we finished like 28-6 but got knocked out of states earlier than we hoped but otherwise it went well.”</span></p>
<p>His game has surely opened the eyes of college coaches as he currently has three offers from <strong>Columbia</strong>, <strong>Howard</strong> and <strong>Pepperdine</strong> and is receiving interest from, "<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Virginia</strong>, <strong>Northwestern</strong>, <strong>Marquette</strong>, <strong>Davidson</strong>, <strong>Penn</strong>, <strong>Cornell</strong>, <strong>South Carolina</strong>."</span></p>
<p>He was able to break down two schools that he has picked up offers from.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Columbia</strong>: “I have always wanted to go to a high academic school so something like an Ivy league or something like that has always been something big for me.”</span></p>
<p><strong>Howard</strong>: <span style="font-weight: 400;">“That is a brand new offer, I got that last weekend but I know the coach and I like him a lot and it seems like a good situation too.”</span></p>
