Four-star shooting guard Dakari Spear, a top-70 national prospect in the 2026 class, picked Big 12 Conference member Texas Tech over Syracuse basketball when he announced his college decision on Monday via social media.

This wasn't a surprise. Ahead of his announcement, the Red Raiders had analyst buzz for the 6-foot-4 Spear, who is from Texas, on the Rivals Web site. He officially visited the Orange in early September, and Spear also took an official visit to Texas Tech.

Spear is a senior at the powerhouse Dynamic Prep in Irving, Texas.
