Bless this young man, and I look forward to following him this year and beyond!! Welcome to the lifelong family of Baylor, Mr. D.
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.
