Southern Methodist University offered a scholarship to Ja'Quan Newton, a 6-foot-3 guard who plays at Neumann-Goretti (PA) High School.
Larry Brown visited Newton on Monday.
"He just told me how he really is," Newton said. "He didn't lie to me or sugarcoat anything."
Newton has drawn interest from Arizona, Georgetown, Temple, Villanova, Wake Forest, Miami, Syracuse and Seton Hall.
