Downtown Brown living up to his name!
He definitely needs to change up his 'do though. I'm thinking Kid's High Top Fade would look sweet on him

Brown battling back from COVID-19
Brown told The Columbus Dispatch that he had to be hospitalized twice this offseason for a total of 17 days after he was hit with COVID-19, strep throat and a sinus infection all at the same time. As a result, the Georgia native is remaining in Columbus the rest of this summer in order to work on his conditioning. Ohio State players were given the option to return home starting last week with on-campus workouts set to resume later this month when fall classes begin.

Bump.
Really want to see this guy make a big step up and find a way to make his mark. He just looks the part to me.

With all of that in mind, The Dispatch is counting down to the start of the season with our annual power rankings. These rankings are an educated guess at which players will have the most significant on-court impact during the course of the entire season and will feature each player on the roster.
The rankings continue today with Gene Brown III.
No. 12 – Gene Brown III
Position: Guard
Class: Sophomore (second year)
Height/weight: 6 feet 6 / 195 pounds
Jersey number: 3
Major: Business
Background
A three-star recruit according to the 247Sports.com composite rankings, Brown came to Ohio State as the No. 135 national recruit and the No. 22 shooting guard following an injury-shortened high school career at Conyers (Georgia) Southwest DeKalb. ESPN ranked him as a four-star recruit and the No. 29 small forward prospect in the nation. During his time with the Panthers, Brown helped the team win regional championships three times and led the only two teams in school history to consecutive state final four appearances. During his first three years of high school, Brown averaged 9.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game before suffering a broken tibia in his left leg as a junior. In five games that season, Brown averaged 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists prior to the injury.

2021-22 outlook
Brown has all of the physical tools to be an impactful player on an Ohio State team that has put heavy early emphasis on defensive improvement. With his length, size and athletic ability, Brown will have the opportunity to build on his experience last season as a player who would primarily be inserted into moments of defensive need.
After losing Duane Washington Jr. and CJ Walker to the professional level, the Buckeyes will essentially open the year with a brand-new backcourt. That means roles are up for grabs, and Brown entered camp with as much an opportunity as anyone to claim one.
“It doesn’t really change much,” he said of Washington and Walker’s departures. “I’m just gonna keep my head down, keep working. I know the things I need to do to be on the court and to be a consistent player to help Team 123.”
Despite the battle with COVID that left him behind from a conditioning standpoint, Brown impressed third-year teammate E.J. Liddell with his offseason work. He remained in Columbus for the majority of the summer in order to best work on his fitness, occasionally participating in the Kingdom Summer League in order to get even more playing time and work.
“Eugene Brown has really improved on his body,” Liddell said at Ohio State’s media day. “He’s added some weight and his defensive skill-set (is tough).”
Brown is one player to track closely during fall camp.

There are opportunities that come with becoming a veteran college athlete. More than just chances for greater playing time, the final years of college can also provide new opportunities for players to take their first steps toward life after sports.
Ohio State’s Gene Brown III finds himself in just that spot. Entering his third season with the Buckeyes, Brown will spend his summer working at an internship through Ohio State’s “Bucks Go Pro 1.0” program, giving Brown his first taste of the “real world.”
“I feel like it’s a great first experience for me, honestly,” he said. “I’ve never had a job my whole life. It was always basketball, and my parents would provide for me. I never put time into an actual job, so this is my closest thing.”
How the Bucks Go Pro internship works
Brown is one of 35 Buckeyes across 22 teams participating this summer in the program, which is run through the Eugene D. Smith Leadership Institute. For eight weeks, those athletes according to the program's website, will do hands-on work focusing on leadership, personal finance and networking.
For Brown, that means spending time with Ohio State’s LiFEsports program. He’ll help tutor kids from ages 8-14 in playing a variety of sports, ranging from lacrosse to softball.
“They come from East, South, West Columbus, some poverty areas, trauma going on at home, all different kinds of things with these kids,” he said. “It’s good to be able to make an impact on their life with whatever they have going on.”
