Kennedy Brown, a 6-foot-6 post from Derby, Kansas, rated among the country's top 20 women's basketball recruits for the Class of 2019, has verbally committed to Oregon State.

Brown visited Corvallis last weekend and shortly thereafter committed to the Beavers.

Hoopgurlz rates Brown No. 19 nationally among this year's senior class. Brown adds to the size of an Oregon State roster that includes 6-9 Andrea Aquino and 6-7 Patricia Morris, both freshmen this season.

BeaverBlitz.com reports that Brown is the highest-rated recruit in OSU program history.

Brown led Derby to Kansas' Class 6A state championship last season, averaging 14.4 points, 12 rebounds and 4.2 blocks a game. She is a two-time all-stater.
