Nice guy. I remember being a lonely freshman about to sit down for a meal by myself in New South during the fall of 2001 and he invited me to sit with him. Nice guy.

I never realized what kind of background he had. It makes you remember that some kids are battling a lot more than schoolwork and basketball.
Good for him to persevering through it.

Great article. Braswell came and went before my time as a Hoya fan began, but I can see why many on this board speak so positively about him.

Thanks for the article and update. Braswell is awesome, and remember that great Sweet 16 game versus Maryland (Braswell vs. Juan Dixon). Unfortunately we lost, but still a great game, great season and accomplishment.
Glad he's doing well.

Thanks for the article. He was incredibly nice when I met him and I hope he continues to find peace in New Zealand.

One of my top 15 favorite Hoyas ever. Loved the fight in this kid. Will never forget when he led a #9 seeded Hoya team over the #1 Orange in the BET!

Braswell ranks as one of my all-time most frustrating Hoyas to watch but I have always admired his (and Juan Dixon's) story and fight.
I hope he has a successful rest of his bball career and then finds something to make him happy afterwards. As for what I most remember, it is easily the triple OT game against UVA in the NIT when he dropped 40 on them and was practically falling over from dehydration at the end of it. I know it was an NIT game but that still could be my favorite non NCAA tourney Gtown game ever.

If that game had been played in the NCAA's instead of the NIT, they would still be showing highlights of it.

But if there are any 7' kiwi teens out there looking for a calling in life, I think Braswell might have an idea of where to point them.
