I will officially be committing to Spire Academy to take a post grad year. I want to thank Jay Slone and the rest of the Spire Family for this opportunity. I will also be changing my recruiting class to 2026. Thank you for everyone who’s allowed me to continue down this road.

Excited to have 6’9” W Braden McCruter join us at SPIRE to do his post grad year and reclassify to 2026. He is a true 6’9” wing. No fluff. The way he moves and shoots it, reminds me of Cam Johnson when he was in HS. He has a chance to be very special! Braden McCruter

McCruter was second-team all-OCC-Capital and honorable mention Division II all-district for Big Walnut Boys Basketball this past season. Big Walnut Athletics captured district title.

This time next year, Braden McCruter will be on a lot of schools' radar! 6'9 and athletic. Proud of the growth he has shown in the past year and looking forward to seeing more growth while at Spire! #ACT
