Marcus Spears Jr. Chooses Texas | SEC Basketball News

Marcus Spears Jr., the top prospect for the 2027 class, is reclassifying to play college basketball next season — and he’s staying home to commit to Texas. A dominant 6-foot-9 power forward averaging over 20 points and 8 rebounds per game in the Nike EYBL, Spears chose Texas over national powerhouses like LSU, driven by his family ties and a hunger to help the Longhorns win a national championship. His sister plays volleyball for Texas, and his dad, a former LSU player and NFL analyst, might’ve influenced the decision — but it’s Texas he’s calling home. Get ready to see elite energy and intensity from Spears Jr. on the court starting next season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
