I schools like Belmont, Ball State, Western Illinois and Lipscomb and if he receives an offer and feels like the program is the right fit he won’t hesitate to commit.
“I would love to commit early and just be done with it and say where I’m going to school, but right now it’s about winning a state championship and trying to progress over the season,” Brown said.
The No. 30 ranked prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 100 doesn’t have any official offers yet, but he has visited some places. He went to Belmont on an unofficial and then has also been to Ball State, Western Illinois and Evansville early in the recruitment process.
These coaches have told him he offers a good mental game that doesn’t deter from his capabilities.
“They say I’m real under control no matter what type of game it is,” Brown said. “Whether intense or not intense or who I’m playing with or who I’m playing against, that I’m very poised and my game doesn’t seem to change. Like that I’m being a floor general and being a leader out there and keeping everybody calm, cool and collected.”
Brown also offers plenty of traditional point guard skills. He has a strong shot from the outside that he is willing to use when he is open and can run the floor well. He also knows where he still needs to get better and is doing so as his Carmel High School team prepares for the postseason.
“Finishing man, finishing,” Brown said about what he’s working on. “I get my stuff pinned off the glass a lot. Just being aggressive a lot and just continuing to be a playmaker and going downhill and finishing when I get in the paint.”
