"Some of the guys know me as that, but I don't get the crowd to say it," Brimley said. "I don't know if they know it."

Perhaps one reason why is Brimley has become so much more than the spot-up shooter he was at Hillcrest.

During his time in a Badger uniform, Brimley has added other dimensions to his game. He has learned to put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket more. He also mixes in a greater number of mid-range jumpers with his customary three-pointers.

It has paid off. Brimley is Snow's leading scorer with 12.8 points per game. Aside from injured forward Rory Patterson and fellow Hillcrest alum Donnie Lao, he is the only Badger player to average double figures this season.

"I obviously have to be more diverse," Brimley said. "I have to be able to get to the hole. I have to be able to score inside. Just being a normal shooter, it's kind of hard to score in this league."

It has taken awhile for opposing defenses to pick up on him, but more teams are starting to take note of Brimley in their game plans. It is not uncommon to see him to fight through two or more defenders just to get Snow's offense going.

"In our conference games, he's got someone inside his shirt all the time," Badgers coach Michael Ostlund said. "To get that kind of attention gives you an idea of the offensive weapon he is."

Brimley's contributions haven't gone unnoticed. He has sparked recent interest from several local and regional NCAA schools.

Weber State, Utah Valley and SUU have shown interest locally. Out-of-state, he is being courted by Wyoming, Portland State, UC-Irvine and Northern Arizona.

This surge of interest in Brimley has not surprised Ostlund in the least bit.

"If you can come into our league and have some success, the Division I schools really see that," Ostlund said. "It's a proving ground in a lot of ways."
