Brown attracted interest from several college programs. He ultimately committed to Vanderbilt over Texas, and had also received offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Kansas State, Miami, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and Purdue, among others.[5] NBC Sports described him as a three-star recruit at the time of his commitment, while The Tennessean reported that he was rated a four-star prospect by Scout.com and a three-star recruit by Rivals.com.[6][7] Vanderbilt's 2015 signing announcement listed Brown as the ninth-best player in Texas according to Texas Hoops, the 126th-ranked player nationally by Rivals and the 26th-ranked power forward nationally by Scout.[8]
