COLLEGE STATION -- The Texas A&M men's basketball program has announced the signing of Kobe Brown to a National Letter of Intent. Brown, a native of Huntsville, Alabama, is ranked as the No. 79 overall player in ESPN's Top 100.
Â
"Kobe is a versatile guard-forward who can play just about any position on the floor," said head coach Billy Kennedy. "He can really pass the ball and is very effective in making plays for others. His ability to stretch the defense with a great outside shot makes him a tough guy to defend. He plays for his dad, who is the coach of one of the best programs in the state, therefore he has great knowledge of the game."
Â
Brown is a four-star recruit according to ESPN. He is slated as the No. 3 prospect in the state of Alabama. The 6-7, 220-pound forward is entering his final season at Lee High School, playing for Coach Greg Brown. He was invited to the Pangos All-American Camp, reserved for the top prep prospects in the country. Brown was also selected to attend the adidas All-American Camp this past July.
In AAU competition, Brown played in the adidas Gauntlet with Game Elite.
Â
Brown chose Texas A&M over Missouri, Auburn, Ole Miss, Minnesota, Western Kentucky and Georgetown, among others.
