Nobody on that list we shouldn't be able to beat for a recruit. OSU and Mich are the best there.
 
Prep Stars lists him as 5'11 and the #16 player in their 2015 class rankings.
Here's a blurb about his game:
Brunson is a lefty point guard that can run the team and keep the defense honest with his ability to shoot the ball from 3 on a consistent basis. He pushes the ball under control and makes pretty good decisions at high speeds and is an excellent open court passer. Brunson has a good feel for the game. He understands how to keep the ball moving and the importance of ball reversal. Brunson is always a threat to make a open shots although he can find open teammates as he attacks. Brunson is a true point guard that has a feel for the game and a terrific basketball IQ. He is a shot maker that can also get teammates involved. Just a very good all around point guard with terrific upside.

 
Brunson measured in the LeBron Camp back in July at 6'2, 182, 6'3 wingspan. Scout is the worse when it comes to updating players current measurements.
 
Seems to use his body very, very well to get off shots inside. Not a real flashy guy but makes the right play. Appears good enough inside and out to keep defenses honest. Just making guesses based on the videos...Having a true a PG at the NBA level for a dad has got to be a good thing.
 
The more I see the tougher he looks. In the bottom vid (which I watched first), he got in space and showed a smooth delivery with range using that lefty jay. But in the upper vid he grizzles up as he gets bodied inside ... and shows some Billy Eidelin in his game around the rim. Notice that he usually drives left, but shoots jumpers or kicks on the right. This will get ironed out in about 3 practices at the D-1 level. How tall is he (guessing 6'2 range)?
 
FYI, his father Rick was born in Syracuse and I believe lived here until he was eight. There are a lot of Brunsons still in the Syracuse area, it is highly likely he has family in CNY.

Played pop warner football with RF2044 for the Lemoyne Dolphins in the late 70's - early 80's. Went by Eric in those days.
