## Resource

Jeff Brown’s journey from nearly quitting basketball after a brutal freshman season at Washington to becoming Gonzaga’s quiet superstar is nothing short of legendary. After sitting out a year, he led the Zags to a 22-8 record and their first postseason run, quietly outscoring everyone—including Stanford’s own doubting coach. His smarts, hand-eye coordination, and relentless craft turned him into a cornerstone of Gonzaga’s rise, paving the way for future stars like Drew Timme and transforming Spokane into a basketball powerhouse. This week, he’s being honored with induction into the Hooptown USA Hall of Fame. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
