By NICK MEDLINE & ADAM ZAGORIA

With two schools pushing the hardest, Juwan Morgan added another contender.

The four-star Waynesville (MO) power forward set official visits to Vanderbilt (Aug. 28-30), Washington (Sept. 12-14) and Indiana (Sept. 26-28), his Mokan Elite AAU coach, Rodney Perry, told SNY.tv.

After his excellent July, several schools began recruiting Morgan–with some perhaps being too late.

Indiana and Washington became the hardest in pursuit, he told SNY.tv on July 12. You could see why: Morgan showed excellent hands and blocking ability on the circuit.

With New Mindset, 2016 Small Forward Matt Moyer Picks up Elite Offers

Special to ZAGSBLOG

Matthew Moyer capped his dominant July with offers from Florida, Illinois and many more. All were the product of a new mindset.

“I didn’t play with a chip on my shoulder in spring,” Moyer told SNY.tv. “In July, I played with an attitude, tenacity and aggression that needs to be there 24/7.

The 2016 small forward and Columbus (OH) native found that translated to success. He began July at the Reebok Breakout Camp in Philadelphia wanting to “rip people’s heads off.”

Ranked No. 90 in the class of 2016 by Rivals.com, Moyer earned obvious attention from coaches, who could see his skill and athleticism. But with more strong performances, elite coaches kept watching.

Briscoe Sidelined 4-6 Weeks With Fractured Foot

Isaiah Briscoe will be sidelined 4-6 weeks with a “slight fracture” in his right foot, his father, George Briscoe, told SNY.tv Wednesday morning.

The 6-foot-3 Roselle (N.J.) Catholic point guard suffered the foot injury during a recent AAU trip to Las Vegas and is in a walking boot.

Briscoe won’t take any college visits for a month or so while he recovers and rests, and also won’t compete in the Under Armour Elite 24 Game set for Aug. 23 in Brooklyn, his father said.

Briscoe had a brilliant summer in which he won a gold medal with the USA U18 team in the FIBA Americas Championship and also led the Playaz Basketball Club to the Peach Jam championship where he earned ZAGSBLOG All-Peach Jam 1st-Team honors.
