    Baylor was the school highly-touted 6-foot-5 guard Kobie Eubanks initiallty committed to. It was the first program Eubanks had his eyes set on playing for.

    Now, following an arduous recruiting road in which Eubanks twice re-opened his recruitment, the post-graduate could potentially take a detour back to Waco, Texas.

    “I spoke with (assistant) coach (Jerome) Tang and coach Scott Drew about coming in December,” said Eubanks, who has now received a qualifying ACT score.

    “It was the first school I wanted to go to coming out of high school, but I couldn’t because of an academic situation that took place when I was at American Heritage (FL). Then again, Baylor was the first school I wanted to go to. It really didn’t affect anything. I still have the same feelings about the program that I had when I was ready to go there.”

    Eubanks still values Baylor. His relationship with American Heritage, however, frayed over an alleged grade manipulation. Eubanks’ father, Clayton Eubanks, filed a lawsuit against Plantation American Heritage, claiming the school put his Baylor scholarship in jeopardy by altering his grades.

    Now at Elev8 Prep in Delray Beach, Fla., Eubanks is also entertaining interest from St. John’s, Memphis, Georgetown, and Western Kentucky.
