2015 SF Jule Brown commits to Penn basketball

The recruiting train goes on: Jule Brown is coming to Penn.

Brown, a junior at Lower Merion High School (Pa.), decided to stay in the area for college and committed to Penn and became the second member of the Quakers' class of 2019.

Brown is the first forward in the class, joining Hebrew Academy (Fla.) point guard Morris Esformes in Jerome Allen's next recruiting class. According to City of Basketball Love, Brown, a 6-foot-6 small forward, told his coach he was going to wait until the summer to commit but a conversation with Allen changed his mind.

Brown also had offers from Ivy and Patriot League competition among others, including Columbia, Hartford and Lafayette. Brown was originally being recruited by Jason Polykoff, who left to coach Earlham College but new assistant coach Nat Graham helped close the deal.

Penn is coming off an 8-20 season and has just nine letterwinners returning from last year's squad. However, the Quakers will bring back freshman Dave Winfield Jr., who missed the season due to injury, as well as five freshmen in the class of 2018.
