Just about a week after being cut by Maccabi Haifa, former FGCU guard Sherwood Brown has decided to stay in Israel and sign with Ironi Ramat Gan of the Liga Leumit. Ramat Gan is just an hour south of Haifa.

The Liga Leumit is the second division in Israeli and is considered the "minor league" Israeli league. Ramat Gan is currently 1-2 through the first three rounds of the season, sitting in 13th place in National League. Their next game is on Tuesday, Nov. 5 against Galil Elyon.

The Orlando native Brown joins Josh Crawford, who played for Iowa and then Indiana State, as the only Americans on Gan's roster.

Prior to this, Brown had worked out with many NBA teams but was passed up, signed with Maccabi Haifa, and was cut by Haifa. When talking with the former Eagles guard over the summer, he said that his plan was to play overseas a year or two before trying hard at the NBA.
