JUCO 7' Joseph Acuil Commits to Baylor

First reported by Brad Winton of @JucoReporting, Melbourne-native Joseph Acuil (7'0/F/2015) of Neosho CC has committed to Baylor.

Acuil is a long and skilled stretch/face 4 man with tons of upside. Nice get for Baylor.

It was known that Acuil was a target, but I personally don't know for how long. Some are congratulating Coach Drew on finding an Isaiah Austin replacement, but time will tell.

Neosho center Joseph Acuil chose Baylor over schools like LSU, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Texas A&M and Colorado.
