    LOUISVILLE, Ky.- After a solid Peach Jam performance, Bruce Brown has seen interest rise considerably over the past couple days.

    “It was great to make a good impression in front of those coaches,” Brown told SNY.tv. “I had never played in front of Coach K before, and I had 24 that game. Providence, Auburn, Oregon State, Iowa State, Texas Tech have all come on recently.”

    Brown says that there are three schools that are clearly working the hardest at the moment however.

    “Xavier, Miami, Minnesota,” Brown said.

    Ranked No. 42 in the class of 2016 by 247 Sports, Brown currently holds offers from Arizona State, Boston College, Auburn, UMASS, Minnesota, Michigan, Manhattan, Wake Forest, Texas Tech, Tulsa, Virginia Tech and Xavier.

    There is one school that Brown would love an offer from.

    “Syracuse,” Brown said. “It would mean a lot, I was a big fan when I was growing up.”

    With the former NEPSAC player at Tilton School, Georges Niang at Iowa State, Brown says that he speaks with him regularly about playing in the Big 12.

    “I talk with Georges a lot,” Brown said. “Because I’m being recruited by Iowa State, he’s great to talk to.”

    If BABC makes a run here in Louisville, Brown will get an opportunity to show that he is one of the best in the class of 2016.
