anyone have any info on this kid's recruiting? he's a 6' 11" wing player from hersey who is doing an extra year at a prep school (ever heard of that??) before college. maybe he's bulking up, was really, really thin at pekin last year. there was a rumor that isu might be interested for 11-12. just wondering.

We have 6-10 Andrew Davis for next year plus Nate Wells at 7-0 coming in and red-shirting next season, in need of a 6=6 6-7 wing player that can rebound and shoot and a 6-5 shooting guard.

I haven't heard Bradley is interested, but then the BU coaches keep things pretty confidential. He was not a high scorer at Hersey HS, he averaged 6.4 ppg his senior year, but is said to have a nice outside touch for a big man.
Here are a couple articles about him-

Pretty unimpressive looking IMO. Can block a shot but can't get a rebound.

[Da Coach]

He is the type of big man the Ivy League schools, and other lower division schools like, but not what Bradley needs, i.e. rebounder/inside scorer.

i would agree. i wasn't necessarily thinking about him as a fit for bu, more interested in the validity of the isu rumor. even at six-eleven, he's probably a 3, something akin to a bill cole or a really poor man's tisdale. extremely long, but physically pretty weak with good mid and long-range jumper.

Kimball Union Academy post-graduate Brian Fabrizius will attend Princeton University and play basketball for the Tigers, according to KUA Head Coach Mike Olson.


Fabrizius and Princeton coach Sydney Johnson had courted each other throughout the year but waited patiently as the admissions process played itself out. When Brian received his call congratulating him into the Class of 2015---he was ready to commit.


Fabrizius says he owes the faculty at KUA for allowing this to happen, ???I had to improve academically during my post graduate year. My teachers here are outstanding and they have pushed me to become a better student. Being admitted to Princeton, and playing for Coach Johnson, would not have happened if not for the support of the faculty and staff at Kimball Union.???


Fabrizius attended Hersey High School, Arlington Heights, Illinois. He missed most of his senior season with an injury but had been spotted by Princeton, and a host of other Division I schools, while playing AAU basketball for Full Package Athletics under Steve Pratt.

Fabrizius is a 6-11 forward who projects nicely into the Princeton high post offense. He is currently averaging 10 points and 7 rebounds a game in the Wildcat??™s balanced attack.


???This is a great testament to Brian??™s character and work ethic, said Olson. He had a goal and he worked hard in the classroom and on the court to achieve it. He will be an asset to Princeton on and off the court. He is only now scratching the surface of his potential---he is an ascending student-athlete.???

[Da Coach]

His older brother, Luke Fabrizius, a 6'9" kid who was rated much more highly than Brian, is now a junior at Dayton, and he has never blossomed. He is still a low-minute reserve who's averages have gone down this year. He averages 10.8 mpg, 3.5 ppg, and 1.1 rpg.

HMMMM...Doesn't Sydney Johnson have ties to our current President? And isn't he mentioned in a few of our "Possible Candidate" discussions? This could get interesting...

[Da Coach]

To my knowledge, Sydney Johnson does not have any ties to the president.
He was the Princeton coach when our AD Mike Cross was an Associate AD there.

No thanks on this guy, We can do better.

I'm a little surprised that Luke hasn't had a better career at Dayton. Then again, I don't know what their roster looks like, looks like it's tough for him to find minutes. Brian is tall and super, super long, but physically very frail. You're looking at a 6' 10"/11" shooter, ala Tisdale, but even less athletic. Could be a good fit in the Ivy League, though.

Neither Fabrizius has even seen the inside of the 3-point line on the offensive end of the court.

As far as Luke at Dayton, last year Dayton had lots of quick athletes and they basically ran 2 units at a high pace. Fabrizius had a few decent games where he hit spot up 3s but has not done much else.

Sounds like a bad system fit for him rather than a reflection on his talent, maybe.

Brian may find some time at Princeton, they still run quite a bit through the high post from what I've seen, and a big guy that shoot a step out 3 is useful in that system.
