Five-star recruit Keyonte George, the No. 2 player in the 2022 recruiting cycle, committed on Sunday to Baylor to give the Bears their second-highest ranked recruit in men’s basketball history.
George chose Baylor over a final five of OSU, Texas, Kansas and Kentucky.
A superstar scoring guard out of Lewisville, Texas, George had long had OSU on his short list of schools but the two in-state schools — Texas and Baylor — were always considered the favorites. The Longhorns were once the frontrunner after landing his high school teammate Arterio Morris last month, but that flipped in recent weeks with Baylor landing his final official visit and ultimately sealing the deal.
