The Cougars picked up a 2021 commitment from 6-foot-8-inch center Ja’Vier Francis, a four-star recruit according to Rivals, on Sunday afternoon.
“Their coaching staff was the first staff to recruit me hard,” Francis told 247 Sports. He is a three-star recruit on their site. “The way they play basketball perfectly fits the way I like to play.”
The Houston native, who transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida earlier this year, made his announcement on Twitter.
He averaged 14 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for Westbury Christian High School during the 2019-20 season.
