Brown is currently scheduled to take an unofficial visit to Lake Wooden UCLA, despite the fact that Pauley Pavillon recently got a little bit flooded. However, things get kind of funny once Brown talks about how the flood has turned into a back and forth twitter exchange between UCLA fans and UK fans:
“[The UCLA coaches] said that Pauley is down, but it’s alright. Everybody is tweeting me like it’s going to have some type of effect on my decision or something. It’s not. It’s fine,” Brown said of his scheduled UCLA visit. “Kentucky fans have been using that to their advantage. It’s hilarious. They’re like, ‘Come to Kentucky, we have clean locker rooms,’ and stuff like that, but the UCLA fans go back at them like, ‘We’ll have brand-new locker rooms by the time you get there,’ so it’s funny to see stuff like that.”
Hey, as long as Jaylen thinks it's funny, I see no problem with a little friendly jawing between the fan bases. However, Brown is expected to take an unofficial visit to Lexington here in late August or early September, then an official one likely in October as reported by NBCSports.com.
