CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Miami Beach (Fla.) 7-footer
Zach Brown was one of the first 2017 recruits with his name connected to Kentucky and Thursday, he finally picked up an offer from the Wildcats.
Brown (7-1, 256) says he received word from his father at the NBPA Top 100 Camp Thursday.
"My dad actually just told me," Brown said. "I was very excited because basketball has taken me a long way and that was a dream college for me when I was younger."
Ranked as the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 2 center in the 2017 class by the industry average 247Sports Composite, the 5-star said North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Miami and UCLA are the schools recruiting him the hardest.
Brown says he's impressed by Kentucky's recent lineage of big men that includes DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Nerlens Noel, Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl-Anthony Towns.
"I just like the way they [use] their bigs and [run] their system around their bigs," Brown said.
On the Nike EYBL circuit this spring, Brown has averaged 10.1 points per game while shooting 62.9 percent from the field to go with 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game for Nike South Beach.
