One more nugget from today’s SEC summer teleconference before we move on. The biggest question surrounding this year’s team is leadership, but John Robic told reporters that, so far, Isaiah Briscoe has taken the lead in summer workouts.
“I think right now, Isaiah Briscoe’s done a really, really good job of leading this group. They’ve been doing a lot of early morning workouts. You can see that, with a year under his belt, that he’s really shown a leadership role,” Robic said.
After going through the NBA Draft evaluation process and deciding to return to school, Briscoe was the obvious frontrunner for team leader, and Robic said going through that process has helped motivate the rising sophomore.
