Isaiah Briscoe, Cheick Diallo and Brandon Sampson to Visit St. John’s

Isaiah Briscoe, Cheick Diallo and Brandon Sampson will make official visits to St. John’s Oct. 17-19 for Midnight Madness, a source told SNY.tv.

Briscoe had a home visit on Monday night with St. John’s coach Steve Lavin.

“The visit went well,” Roselle Catholic coach Dave Boff said to SNY.tv. “Lavin did a good job selling the vision of the program.”

Briscoe will also take official visits to UConn Sept. 26, Mizzou Oct. 10 and Kentucky later that month.
