Thanks to outstanding play in the summer with the PSA Cardinals, appearances with USA Basketball and tremendous play at Hudson (N.J.) Catholic, he’s built a reputation with coaches as one of the top rising juniors in America. He’s explosive to the rim, he is a tremendous option to help run a team and he holds big time potential on the defensive end. But, out of sight can often mean out of mind when it comes to recruiting and that makes his popularity with college coaches all that more impressive. Since college coaches could directly contact members of the class of 2022 in mid-June, Cruz has added offers from Alabama, Baylor, Iowa, Louisville, Maryland and Ohio State. Prior to that others like Auburn, Bryant, DePaul, Georgia Tech, LSU, Miami, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Syracuse, UCLA and UConn had offered. Headed to Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill for his junior season, Cruz has seen Seton Hall and Syracuse unofficially and only figures to see his recruitment pick up even more. “Zion has proven himself to be one of the best two guards in his class,” PSA Cardinals program director and coach Munch Williams told . “Everywhere he has been, he’s led his teams to the winner circle. His work ethic and desire to stay in the gym to strengthen his individual game makes me feel comfortable that he will step onto a college campus and be prepared to play heavy minutes right away. Long term, he has a shot at being the best point guard in the class and solely needs for more people to see him at this point.” [/QUOTE]
