Emmanuel Mudiay has committed to SMU, picking Larry Brown over Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma State.

Mudiay is the highest rated prospect to ever commit to SMU

SMU hasn't reached the NCAA tournament since 1993.

"I want to do something different," Mudiay said. "The program is changing under Coach Brown and I really believe in him. When he talks with me it's not only about basketball, it's about life after the game: What are my interest outside the game and how I will be able to take care of myself and my family. My dream is to play in the NBA and I feel he can help prepare."
