Anthony Brown is a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of Orlando (Fla.) Christian Prep who averaged 14.4 points on 38-percent shooting from three in a 27-0 state championship winning season.
“I am hearing from Penn State, Temple, Iona, Ohio, USF and Yale right now in my recruitment. I plan on setting up visits to Yale, Temple, Iona and Penn State. I have visited USF a lot, so we will see what happens with them too,” Brown said.

IN HIS OWN WORDS
Penn State: “They are in a good conference, the Big Ten. Coach Keith Hollins is my lead recruiter, and he has seen me play a few times, so I feel comfortable knowing he knows how I play, how I fit in and can impact the team.”
USF: “I think I would fit in well there. I have been to their campus a couple of times, and I have been to team camp and individual camp there. I have seen the team play and know all their coaches there, so I am familiar with them, yeah, I think I would fit in well.
Temple: “They are a great program, led by head coach Aaron McKie. I think he could get me to the next level and develop me as a player. They have been telling me to impact the quickly and they are saying my scoring ability will help them to make the tournament.”
Yale: “You know it’s Ivy League, so the education is off the chain and they are one of the top Ivy League basketball programs every year. It is a great school as they are top 50 in basketball and in education and not many places can offer me that.”
Iona: “Head coach Rick Pitino is a Hall of Famer, so great coaching there. I think his player development for guards is great. I think going there could put me at a high level for NBA scouts and moving forward.”
“Schools like Dayton, Georgia Tech, Drake and Florida State have been talking to me a lot. They have not offered, but they are going to watch me during the live periods.”
WHAT'S NEXT
“I will be looking for a great coaching staff and a great environment for the players. I will also be looking at the education aspect that can take me beyond basketball. I will most likely be committed before the start of the school season,” Brown said.
RIVALS' REACTION
Brown is a smooth off-guard who can handle, shoot, and pass the ball. He has an effortless jumper with a repeatable release off the catch. Brown has nice length and wide shoulders on his slender frame leading one to believe he could easily continue to put on weight in a college strength program.
