The former 2024 commit re-classifies to join Miro Little and Ja’Kobe Walter
WACO, Texas – Baylor men's basketball added to its 2023 signing class on Wednesday as head coach Scott Drew announced the signing of center Yves Missi.
Originally a member of the class of 2024, Missi re-classified and will join signees Miro Little and Ja'Kobe Walter, giving the Bears one of the best signing classes in the country.
The No. 2 prospect in the state of California according to ESPN, Missi participated in the 2023 Nike Hoops Summit, where he played with Little on the World Select Team and played against Walter and Team USA.
Born in Belgium, the 6-foot-10, 215-pound center grew up in Cameroon but comes to the Bears by way of Prolific Prep in California. With Prolific Prep, the five-star prospect helped his team win The Grind Session World Championship, earning a spot in the GEICO High School Nationals tournament. In the quarterfinals against IMG Academy, Missi had six points, four rebounds and a block. In December, he also helped Prolific Prep win the 2022 John Wall Holiday Invitational.
His brother, Steve Moundou-Missi, was a three-time All-Ivy League selection at Harvard, in addition to being the 2015 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year.
