    Troy Brown, a 2017 wing from Centennial High in Las Vegas, Nevada, recently cut his list to a final eight consisting of Arizona, Alabama, California, Georgetown, Kansas, Ohio State, Oregon, and UNLV.

    On Saturday, the five-star announced via Twitter that Alabama, Georgetown, Kansas, Ohio State, and Oregon would receive his five official visits.

    Brown has unofficially visited all three schools on his final list but absent from his five officials.

    Recently SNY.tv caught up with Brown to discuss his thoughts on all eight schools on his list.

    Alabama: “They are a great school with Coach Avery Johnson. You can’t go wrong there. I know a couple players that are considering them that I would like to play with.”

    Georgetown: “Their coaching staff is amazing with Coach [John] Thompson [III]. Their history is amazing. You can’t go wrong with them.”

    Kansas: “I like coach [Bill] Self and his determination to coach and make players better. Also, my sister goes there.”

    Ohio State: “They like tall point guards. They produce really good point guards out of being tall and lanky.”

    Oregon: “I like their coaching staff. They’re a great school. They play up-tempo basketball.”

    Despite not receiving an official, California is currently the leader on the 247Sports CrystalBall with 50% of the total vote.

    When asked, Brown said he is “not sure yet” on a timeline for his decision.
