Shortly after those commitments, three-star Chance McSpadden was briefly committed but decided that he had pulled the trigger too early.
A few weeks ago, Sanders backed off of his commitment as well. The super athletic point guard said that he had ended things too early and after his de-commitment rumors immediately swirled that Owens could be next.
Tuesday morning, the 6-foot-8 power forward from Orlando (Fla.) Oak Ridge confirmed to Rivals.com's Russ Wood of Inside the Gators that he has backed off of his commitment as well.
The Knights still have a very good player onboard in Brown. The 6-foot-7 power forward is strong, has good skill and plays ruggedly around the rim.
UCF will surely consider to pursue Sanders, McSpadden and Owens along with others like four-star shooting guard Antonio Blakeney, but they've got their work cut out for them.
