January 14, 2022
Zion Cruz grew up playing basketball in the talent-rich state of New Jersey, but he's spending his senior season on the west coast at the newly formed Donda Academy. He's one of the top guards in the 2022 class.
Meet Zion Cruz, one of America's most exciting basketball prospects. Originally from New Jersey, Cruz's talent for both football and basketball was apparent at a young age. However, it was his first dunk in sixth grade that ignited his true passion for the game. Since then, he has become a five-star prospect and one of the top guards in the 2022 class.
Despite being far from home at Donda Academy in California, Cruz has had the unwavering support of his family throughout his journey. They have stood by him during tough times, such as the tragic loss of his friend to gun violence. In honor of his friend, Cruz wears the number five and draws inspiration from his memory.
With his incredible athleticism and versatility, Cruz has caught the attention of top colleges, including Memphis, Georgia, and Western Kentucky. While his professional future remains uncertain, there's no doubting that Cruz has the potential to make a significant impact in college basketball and beyond.
