Here is the Weiss post

I wasn't able to put this in my response to the IPB:

Money quote: "The two blue chippers - who are legitimate McDonald's candidates - could be exactly what John Thompson III needs in his quest to duplicate his father's accomplishments in the early 80's - one national championship in 1984 and two other trips to the Final Four - and make a strong run at a national championship within the next three years."

Also, note his mention of Chris Braswell. It is rumored that Bras will verbal to the Hoyas next month. He has cut his list down to GU, Virginia, UConn, and Nova, trimming among others Sweaty Gary's program in College Park.

Braswell is only a high school junior but having him on board could bring another elite class to the Hilltop to follow on the heels of the Freeman/Wright triumph. By all accounts, he is also a top ten-type and will be hamburger AA.

If this kid is any relation to Kevin Braswell, I hope he signs with another school. Is he?

No. Both Freeman and Braswell are not related to the past Hoyas with those names.
