Just picked up the first commit for the 2026 class.

https://www.aseaofred.com/liberty-adds- ... -sorensen/

2024:
Bret Decker- 6' 2" PG
Will Gibson- 6' 6" F

2025:
Zander Carter- 6' 6" G
Andrew Grimes- 6' 8" F

2026:
Torr Sorenson- 6' 7" F

McKay has proven by now he knows how to evaluate players but I'll never get used to seeing high school sophomores committing. The move to CUSA has been good for recruiting though, we just keep adding more length and it seems like overall athleticism is improving as well.

How many mid-major programs do you think already have a '26 recruiting and commits forum?

Hopefully it's the result of McKay & Co getting in early before these kids blow up and bigger offers come flooding in. This team is shaping up to have some length in the next few years.

He's a local kid who appears to have reclassified when he went to the school up in Ohio. In other words, based on Coach McKay's recent penchant for having guys come in as early enrollees he likely will be with the Class of 2025.

His dad was a baller.

He was indeed. Last I saw he was a fishing guide in the area. Living the dream.

A good start with 2 HS commits, but we will have at least 6 slots to fill next year. Of course some of them will no doubt come from the portal.

We just got a commitment from 6'5" CG Eli Sancomb. Best as I can tell/recall, if we can seal the deal in November with a NIL, this will be the first 4 star we have ever signed out of HS.

Our best HS class ever?
Could be.

Any of you other :oldhag think he looks a little like a left-handed Hildo? (Highlight videu embedded in the ASOR article.)
