Overview

Bryan Bresee was the #1 Overall recruit in his class and unfortunately was treated as such by college offenses as he faced constant double teams and chip blocks in his career and some his injuries probably occurred from the enhanced attention he received. He also dealt with a great deal of personal issues off the field with his beloved sister getting diagnosed with brain cancer and after a long battle with the disease tragically passed away and I imagine this must have weighed on his mind while playing. Bryan Bresee's tape is more flashy and consistent and his injuries in college likely robbed us of the true picture of what he can do but with what you can see on tape, you see a player that the potential to be game-wrecker at the next level.
