Baylor has extended an offer to Bear Acy, a five-star basketball prospect for the 2029 class who is ranked No. 7 overall nationally. Acy has not announced a decision in the report.
Acy is the son of former Baylor forward Quincy Acy, who played for the Bears from 2008 through 2012. Quincy Acy was recognized on the All-Big 12 Defensive Team for the 2011-12 season and was known for his work around the basket, including scoring, rebounding and shot blocking.
Bear Acy is listed at 6 feet, 7 inches. The report describes him as a player with the size to contribute on both ends of the court, including defending the rim, disrupting passing lanes and creating blocked shots and deflections.
A potential commitment would give Baylor coach Scott Drew the opportunity to coach a second generation of the Acy family. Drew coached Quincy Acy during all four of his seasons at Baylor after becoming the program's head coach in 2003. Before that, Drew worked as an assistant under his father, Hall of Fame coach Homer Drew, at Valparaiso.
The offer is not identified as Acy's only recruiting opportunity, and the report says additional offers are likely for the highly ranked prospect. Whether Baylor's connection to his father influences his decision remains unclear.
