In addition to the Tarheels, Brown holds offers from the likes of Duke, Michigan State, Indiana, Michigan, Harvard, Illinois, Notre Dame, and several others.
Brown discusses the North Carolina Tarheels
In a previous interview with On3, Brown discussed the North Carolina program.
“I know a lot historically about the program, with their success and their many great players but that’s another school I’m prepared to learn a lot about,” Brown said. “That’s a school that I like, even outside of their basketball success but educational success as well. That’s something that’s really important to me and my family, athletics, but education as well. I’m really excited to get to know Coach (Hubert) Davis and his staff and the whole Carolina program.”
Brown has also stated that UNC was one of his “dream schools growing up”, along with Ohio State, Duke, and UCLA.
Illinois recently hosted Brown and his St. Rita teammate Morez Johnson, who’s committed to the Illini. Brown has also unofficially visited Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin.
Brown mentioned in another recent interview that he’d also like to take visits to Howard, UCLA, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Michigan, and Duke.
