Brown was once committed to USC. However, after he decommitted in May, Texas made him an offer six days later. In less than a month he took an official visit to Austin and that's all it took to get his commitment.
The Longhorns have the No. 18 recruiting class at the moment per 247Sports with Brown still on board. They hosted a ton of prospects this weekend as well, so their ranking could improve soon.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is unhappy with Bucks after Damian Lillard waiver, Brook Lopez departure: "He just didn't like how it was handled"
Giannis Antetokounmpo is unhappy with Bucks after Damian Lillard waiver, Brook Lopez departure: "He just didn't like how it was handled" originally appeared on Basketball Network. The Milwaukee Bucks' sudden decision to waive Damian Lillard and let Brook Lopez walk in free agency hasn't sat well with Giannis Antetokounmpo. According to Chris Haynes, 'The Greek Freak' has taken issue with how the situation was managed, a sentiment that could spell trouble for Milwaukee if tensions linger. Advertisement 'Sources have relayed to me that Giannis Antetokounmpo is not pleased with the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to buy out Damian Lillard for the remainder of his contract,' the NBA insider said on NBA TV. 'He just didn't like how it was handled. This whole offseason, since the season ended, he's been weighing his options and figuring out what he's gonna do, try to navigate the situation.' 'Now, this is one more thing added to the equation, in which he is seeing that there are some suspect things that are happening, or the way that they are happening. So I was told he was not pleased with how it transpired with Damian Lillard,' added Haynes. Lillard waived, Lopez out In a move that's entirely out of left field, the Bucks decided to waive Lillard and stretch the remaining $113 million in his contract across five years. Dame's two-season tenure in Milwaukee was largely disappointing, as the team was eliminated in the first round in the past two playoffs. Advertisement Moreover, the nine-time All-Star suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the series against the Indiana Pacers. The injury will sideline him for most, if not all, of next season. According to Shams Charania, Lillard is in good spirits following his release. ESPN's resident league insider wrote that Dame "welcomed" the move, as it gives him the freedom to rehab near his family in Portland and take his time weighing his next step. Meanwhile, Lopez has already found a new NBA home. The seven-foot big man joins the Los Angeles Clippers in a two-year, $18 million deal after being let go by the Bucks. Lopez had a magnificent seven-year run with the franchise, winning a title in 2021 and being a part of two All-Defensive Teams. Will fans see the "Splash Mountain" down the road in a jersey retirement ceremony? Apparently, Giannis thinks it's a no-brainer. Advertisement Bucks acquire Myles Turner With this sudden turn of events, Milwaukee's front office wasted no time pivoting. The Bucks quickly addressed a need by signing Myles Turner, the long-time Pacers center, to a four-year, $107 million deal. Turner could readily slot into Lopez's role as a defensive-minded, floor-spacing big. As per Shams, the Bucks wouldn't have had the means to secure Turner without letting go of Lillard. Even though the Bucks still owe Lillard about $22.5 million annually for the next five years starting in 2025-26, it's a far smaller cap hit than if his full salary remained on the books. Waiving 'Dame Time' saved them over half the amount that would've counted against the cap! Advertisement Only time will tell how Giannis processes everything. He could decide this was the final straw and demand a trade, setting off a frenzy across the league. Or he might stay, see if the front office can steady the ship, and ride it out one more year. Either way, Milwaukee is officially on the clock.
