Baylor men's hoops lands top five senior V.J. Edgecombe

Top-five senior V.J. Edgecombe, the top uncommitted senior in the country, announced his commitment to Baylor on Sunday.

Edgecombe, who becomes Baylor's highest-ranked commitment in more than a decade, chose the Bears over a final three that also included Duke and Kentucky.

"Baylor has a winning culture, a great staff and head coach. Coach Drew is a genuine person; he has built an incredible program," he told ESPN. "There was a deep connection with Baylor. They have a strong foundation of faith and there was also a spiritual connection. That was important to me."

He took visits to each of his finalists, with his Waco trip coming in early October.
