WALDORF, Maryland -- Thomas Stone guard M.J. Briscoe had to wait patiently until after his senior season to pick up his first Division I scholarship offer, but his marathon recruitment ended Monday with a sprint to the finish.
Briscoe orally committed to North Carolina A&T this week, choosing the Aggies over Morgan State and a pair of late-charging suitors. The 6-foot-1 guard said Loyola (Md.) and Miami (Ohio) both stepped in with offers on Monday.
The late offers “didn’t really affect me that much because in my mind, I had already decided where I was going,” said Briscoe, who plans to sign next week. “It just gave us something else to talk about and take into consideration.”
Briscoe, who averaged 19.3 points per game as a senior, took an official visit to North Carolina A&T last month and was sold on the chance to make an impact right away for a team that graduated seven seniors off its NCAA tournament squad.
