"“The message it delivers to all high school prospects is that Miami is a great destination if you want to get a great education, but also play at the highest level of basketball and give yourself an opportunity to develop into an NBA talent… [Brown and Walker] came here with high aspirations, both young men were projected to be NBA players and now their dreams are going to come true, because in our estimation, there’s a strong likelihood they’ll both be first-round draft choices.”"

Dewan Huell has also declared for the NBA Draft but has not signed with an agent. That gives him the option of returning to school by June 11. Huell is not expected to be drafted this year if he decides to stay in the draft.

According to NBA Draft.Net Huell would be a fringe first-round pick in 2019. Huell was part of the same class with Brown. At the time was considered to be the best class in Miami history. Should he decide to return for the 2018-19 season Huell will be a Junior.
