2021 Forward Sam Alajiki Commits to Cal
Sam Alajiki a 2021 forward has committed to Cal. The Bears add another piece to their recruiting class with a versatile player who can stretch the floor.
Alajiki chose Cal over several other programs that were recruiting him. The decision came after official visits and conversations with the coaching staff about his role.
247 Sports covered the commitment and what Alajiki brings to Berkeley.
The forward position in modern basketball requires shooting ability. Alajiki has that along with the size to defend multiple positions. Thats what programs want now.
College athletics recruiting is increasingly a year-round operation. Commitments happen earlier and earlier in the cycle.
Cal basketball has been rebuilding. Adding talented recruits matters for getting back to relevance in a tough Pac-12 conference.
Alajiki will have time to develop. College programs that rush freshmen into major roles often regret it. Cal seems to be building depth so theres less pressure on any individual player.
The commitment helps Cal on the trail too. Recruits want to play with other talented players. Success breeds success in recruiting.
Commitment announced 2020
