Wisconsin basketball offers top-ranked in-state class of 2027 combo guard
Wisconsin basketball extended an offer to four-star class of 2027 combo guard Jalen Brown following its advanced camp on Thursday.
The program, as it does annually, welcomed a litany of high-profile high school prospects spanning from the class of 2026 to 2028 to participate in the advanced camp in Madison. Brown, a product of Wauwatosa West High School in Milwaukee, stood out during the event.
247Sports considers the 6-foot-4, 180-pound combo guard the No. 82 overall recruit, No. 10 combo guard and No. 3 player from his home state of Wisconsin in the class of 2027. The outlet also considers Brown a four-star prospect with potential to rise further throughout the remainder of his high school career.
Despite being a 2027 recruit, Brown has already secured a high-major offer from West Virginia in addition to opportunities at Grambling State and Northern Illinois. Marquette has also expressed interest, per 247Sports.
As a sophomore at Wauwatosa West High School, Brown captained his team with 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.7 steals in 30.5 minutes per appearance. Against Brookfield East on Dec. 6, Brown logged 46 points, nine rebounds and five dimes off a blistering 85% from the field in what quickly became his most impressive individual performance of the 2024-25 campaign.
While UW's won't completely ignite its 2027 recruiting efforts until next summer, its interest in Brown at this stage of his basketball journey is noteworthy. Considering his talent as a sophomore, his offer sheet will undoubtedly blossom as he continues to log more contests for Wauwatosa West High School. The Badgers' in-state ties, coupled with an early commitment to his development, could bode well for the program's chances down the line.
As of June 27, only four-star small forward Donovan Davis and four-star shooting guard Dooney Johnson boast higher in-state rankings via 247Sports. Brown's status is one to monitor closely as he progresses with the Trojans.

NFL coordinator puts Packers star in rare stratosphere because of his unique skillset that separates him from most peers
NFL coordinator puts Packers star in rare stratosphere because of his unique skillset that separates him from most peers originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Green Bay Packers achieved rare free agency success last season. The highest best, and also the most successful, was the addition of safety Xavier McKinney on a four-year, $67 million contract to take him away from the New York Giants. In his first season as a Packer, McKinney was second in the NFL in interceptions and made the First-Team All-Pro for the first time in his Jeremy Fowler is publishing the positional rankings this week, and McKinney was third at safety, just behind Baltimore Ravens' Kyle Hamilton and Detroit Lions' Brian Branch (which is already questionable). McKinney only had fewer first-place votes than Hamilton and was one of four safeties to appear on every ballot. An unnamed NFL coordinator had something particularly interesting to say about the Packers defensive star, and it's why he's so impactful for Jeff Hafley's defense."Whoo, that guy's a player," the coordinator said. "One of the first safeties that can do it all." View the to see embedded media. McKinney's numbers from last season prove how versatile he is. The safety played 595 snaps deep, 340 in the box, 88 in the slot, 38 closer to the line of scrimmage, and four as an outside cornerback. He had eight interceptions, a sack, four pressures, 62 tackles, 12 stops, three pass breakups, and allowed an insane 56.4 passer rating when NFL personnel evaluator mentioned how smart McKinney is, beyond his physical skills."Multidimensional traits, high football IQ, range over the top with the ability to play man coverage over slot receivers," he told ESPN. "Has the playmaking element to his game." Even better for the Packers, Xavier McKinney is still under contract for three more seasons. The star defensive back is slated to make $12.1 million in 2025, $13.35 million in 2026, and $16.75 million in 2027—all extremely reasonable numbers for a player of his the to see embedded media.
