LJ Cryer, the 6-foot-1 point guard from Morton Ranch (MD) and Houston Hoops AAU, announced his commitment to Baylor on Tuesday.
Cryer picked the Bears over Houston, LSU, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Texas A&M.
He broke down his commitment with ZAGSBLOG.
“It’s a good academic school and a Christian school which is big to my family and I. Baylor has also been recruiting me since the 8th grade so I’ve built a strong relationship with the staff. Lastly, I expect to impact the team right away to help them win a national championship.”
Scott Drew and his staff are getting a guard who has a versatile skill set headlined by his consistent jumper.
According to 247Sports, Cryer is a four-star prospect, ranked No. 68 nationally, and is the No. 3 player from Texas.
Cryer is the first commit for Baylor’s 2020 class. They are still pursuing five-star Greg Brown and four-stars Dawson Garcia, Xavier Foster, and Jayden Stone.
