Explorers Grab Late 2011 Commitment

Rohan Brown, a 6'6" forward from East Catholic HS in Manchester, CT., committed to La Salle University and enrolled in school on Tuesday.  Brown had planned to attend Choate Rosemary Hall Prep for a post-grad year, but his strong play during the July evaluation period netted him multiple offers and he gave a verbal commitment to La Salle as a 2011 recruit last Friday after visiting earlier last week.
