Somto Cyril commits to Georgia and will test NBA Draft waters
Somto Cyril has found his college home, and it’s within the SEC.
On Monday, Cyril committed to Mike White and the Georgia Bulldogs.
On3’s Joe Tipton broke the news on Cyril, who will also go through the 2024 NBA Draft process to receive feedback. There was buzz that Cyril could do this when he was still committed to Kentucky, and for now, he’s planning to be in college next season.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Cyril is currently ranked 44th overall and ninth among centers in the 2024 class via 247 Sports Composite. He plays for Overtime Elite in Georgia, so he’s staying close to home for college.
Cyril signed with Kentucky in the fall period while holding offers from Kansas, Florida, Indiana, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Memphis, and Tennessee, among others. He was always viewed as a multi-year project for Kentucky, but once John Calipari left, Cyril quickly got out of his NLI.
Best of luck to Cyril as he kicks off the next chapter of his basketball journey.
