Jaylen Brown, the second best player in the 2015 class according to most sources, wrote in his blog for USA Today High School Sports that he will visit Michigan for the school’s game against Wisconsin on Jan. 24 and then head to Georgia on Feb. 17. “I’ve got a lot of family up there and so it’s gonna be a little reunion while I’m there. A lot of them went to Michigan and Michigan State so I’m really excited to see the campus and see my people,” Brown wrote.
