"I think he'll be a great fit," said Phoenix College coach Matt Gordon. "He will be a very good player in the West Coast Conference. I coached in the league for a couple of years and I know what it's like."
Brown and Phoenix College won their first game 118-58 over the Grand Canyon JV on Tuesday night. Brown visited the Zags officially last weekend.
