MBB: Dain Dainja Makes It Official

Dain Dainja is an ultra skilled big man with the size, wingspan, quickness and strength to be a major impact player.  He was the first 2020 commit for Baylor and anchors a class rated #8 by 247Sports.  He is joined in this outstanding 2020 class by explosive guard LJ Cryer and a skilled big man in Zach Loveday.  When Dainja committed, I interviewed him on why he chose Baylor here.  

Here are a few comments on how it feels to make it official.  

How does it feel to make it official?  

Dainja:  It feels amazing making things official with Baylor!  I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time and I just want to thank my mom and dad for guiding me to get to this point!  I just can’t wait to get on campus and put on for Baylor.  

Are you watching Baylor games?  

Dainja:  For sure, I will be watching EVERY Baylor game this year.  

What are your goals this year on and off the court?

Dainja:  My goals for this season are to just become a better leader and bring the energy to my team and be able to take my team to the state championship and win it!  Also, I want to give the young guys all the knowledge that I know about the game so they can be successful as they continue their high school careers.  Off the court, I want to set a good example for others because I know a lot of people look up to me so I NEED to smile more and try to make a good impact on other people.
