Tlik – while it’s true that many gedolim did not learn in brisk, a large amount – perhaps the majority – of gedolei roshei yeshiva in America did, and are talmidim of either rav berel, rav avrohom yehoshua, or rav dovid. After rav avrohom yehoshua’s machlokes with rav shach, the majority of eretz yisroel based yeshivos distanced themselves from brisk. The American yeshiva world never took sides in that disagreement.
