Brown had recently returned to South Florida after a brief stint at Putnam Science in Connecticut. According to the Hartford Courant, Brown was asked to leave the school after an on-court altercation with opposing players. He had originally moved up there to be closer to UConn where he committed. However, he re-opened his recruitment last month since he was not as close to Connecticut as he was before.
