The Bears picked up their first commitment of the 2026 class with the addition of Bella Vista Prep (Scottsdale, AZ) small forward/wing Dionycius "Nyce" Bakare today.
The 6-5/170 SF/W originally committed to Penn State on July 7 before decommitting earlier this month.
The 3 star Vancouver, British Columbia native plays for UPlay Canada on the EYBL circuit. In 11 EYBL games last spring, Bakare averaged 14.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, shooting 48% from the field and 40% from 3.
The Bears beat out Washington, ASU, USC, Alabama, Illinois, Seton Hall, SMU and more for Bakare’s commitment.
