Jordan Brown is a former five-star recruit who never got a chance to shine at Nevada. He is set to transfer and many NCAA Basketball schools are in the mix to land him.

Jordan Brown is an absolute stud who had a disappointing freshman season at Nevada. It was a disappointing season for the team as a whole though as they were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament despite having Final Four caliber type talent.

Brown was supposed to be a key part of that after being a high recruit out of high school, but he never was able to play a big role. He played in 33 games, but he averaged just three points and two rebounds per game while playing just 10 minutes per game.

Coming out of high school there were high expectations since he was a five-star recruit. He was the 19th ranked player in the class according to 247sports. He probably had a better odds of being a one-year player heading to the NBA rather than him transferring elsewhere. That’s not how it played out and now he has many schools interested in bringing him into their program.

Many schools are trying to recruit him and he would be a huge addition to their squad. He is an elite talent that could be a game changer for a program. Despite all the talent, he was behind at Nevada there are reasons he didn’t have a big role this past season so he will need to continue to improve his game if he wants to be a star at his next school.

There are schools such as LSU, Wake Forest, and Baylor that he is interested in, but there are some top programs that stand out as his best potential landing spots. He will consider the other teams and find the right fit for him, but here are the top five possible destinations for him.
