It would be best to describe Spear as a combo guard with a huge wingspan and a good midrange game. The fact that he plays for Dynamic Prep says that he’s one of the best in the state because that’s all that plays there. According to ESPN Spear is the 60th best player in the nation and 7th best in the state. 24/7 Sports says he’s the 83rd best player in the nation while On3 says that he’s the 74th. All 3 scouting services have Spear as the 7th best player in the state. Red Raider Sports’ Joe Lopez spoke to Spear about his commitment and why Texas Tech (which Kellen Buffington and his DFW relationships are a big part of this):

Spear prioritized development and environment when making his decision. He wanted a program where education and basketball could grow together. His strong connection with general manager Kellen Buffington and the rest of the staff was also key.

“My connection with Buff and the staff is close for sure. They made me feel like I was a part of the team on my visit and I was able to really get a glimpse of student athlete life at Tech.”
