Introducing 2013 Prospect Vitto Brown

One of the more interesting recruits for Michigan in 2013 has been Vitto Brown.  Beilein and his staff keep an eye on numerous prospects, but this is a recruitment that has sort of "come out of the blue" so to speak.  He had a great camp performance, which has really changed the dynamic in terms of Michigan.  Michigan was not in the race whatsoever, but after his camp performance and some meetings with the staff, now is firmly entrenched in Michigan's recruiting radar.


Unlike fellow 2013 Michigan prospect Reggie Cameron, Vitto Brown is a big man that makes his name in the paint.  He is a great low post player, a great rebounder, and a great shot blocker.  Imagine a Sullinger-esque player that can be felt on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.  He's clearly not as talented as Sullinger, but they play with a similar style.  Another skill he's been linked to is a high basketball IQ, which is something Beilein and company look for in all their recruits.  The one area that really needs some work for Brown is his shooting.  He has been improving his mid-range jumper, but he is not a great 3-point shooter.  With his position, size, and style of play, he wouldn't be expected to attempt shots outside the arch very often, but if he can improve on that shooting, he could become a better version of Evan Smotcryz.

2013 Prospect Vitto Brown Visits Michigan

Michigan's summer basketball recruiting continues to pick-up with a flurry of visits occurring today.  It's already been reported that 2013 Michigan prospects Zak Irvin and Mark Donnal along with 2014 prospect Devin Booker were all visiting Michigan today.  However, the most intriguing visit is from Ohio power forward Vitto Brown.  


Brown is a 2013 prospect and hasn't received a lot of attention from the major scouting services.  Although he does have some decent ratings on some of the sites, for the most part he's not close to some of Michigan's more hyped 2013 recruits such as Derrick Walton and Mark Donnal.  Despite this, Beilein has consistently went after some of the recruits that fall under the radar and I think that could be happening with Brown.
