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.
