Kentucky basketball recruit Isaiah Briscoe hasn't suited up for the Wildcats yet, but he's already being dragged across the internet by Louisville basketball fans. Over the weekend, Briscoe and a few other recruits for both Kentucky and Louisville got into a beef over Instagram. The posts were just harmless preseason teenaged shit-talking, but in one of them, Briscoe got filleted. Louisville recruit Donovan Mitchell uploaded this video to his Instagram, but took it down shortly thereafter.

— Sheila Mikailli (@sheilamikailli) May 11, 2015Mitchell probably realized that his shot was kind of lame. While Briscoe not knowing what a freaking adjective is looks really funny, Mitchell, as a fellow Division I NCAA basketball recruit, must know that Briscoe can be forgiven for lacking basic writing knowledge. Why? He's not a writer. He's not an academic. He's a basketball player—one who's being propped up by the NCAA under the false "student-athlete" guise for the sake of institution. Who the fuck cares if the kid doesn't know what an adjective is? Can he shoot the three and finish in the paint? With regard to Briscoe, as fucked as it sounds, that's all anyone cares actually about. Cardale Jones really said it best:

Last month, Briscoe was made fun of for not knowing that Derrick Rose played for Memphis, NOT Kentucky. He should stay low until the season starts.
