Donda Academy four-star guard Zion Cruz has committed to DePaul as first reported by ZAGSBLOG.

Cruz, who is originally from Hillside, N.J., was one of the top uncommitted players in the 2022 cycle.

“I will be taking my talents to DePaul,” Cruz told ZAGSBLOG. “They were on me really heavy since freshman year and I had a talk with Coach Stubbs and it went great. Me and him got a great relationship and I just felt like that’s the right place.”

He is the second commit in the Blue Demons class along with Omaha (Neb.) St Andrews School three-star point guard Preston Murphy Jr.

The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — has Cruz as the No. 47 overall recruit in the country. He is also the second-best player from the state of New Jersey after South Orange (N.J.) St. Peters Prep four-star guard Mark Armstrong, who is committed to Big East foe Villanova.

Cruz currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $17k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
