On Monday, three-star combo guard Brooks Bahr announced his commitment to the BYU Cougars in the 2024 recruiting class. Bahr chose BYU out of a final five that also included Utah, Saint Mary’s, USC and Wake Forest.
During a 247Sports live stream of his announcement, Bahr initially picked up a USC hat before putting it back on the table and announcing he is headed to BYU.
Brooks plans to serve a LDS mission right out of high school and will join BYU in 2026.
Bahr hails from Keller, Texas. He is rated as the eighth-best prospect in the state of Texas and the 132nd-ranked player in the 2024 class, according to 247Sports.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound combo guard averaged 21.3 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, and 3.7 assists per game as a junior last season.
USC can use that kind of high-octane offense when Boogie Ellis leaves the program. That’s why the loss in this particular recruitment stings to a certain degree.

Bahr is a well-rounded guard prospect out of Texas. Can get downhill off the drive, knockdown shots from the outside and is a willing playmaker with the ball in his hands.
