In the same week that TCU picked up a commitment from Serbian forward Milos Sojic, the Horned Frogs added another prospect to their 2026 recruiting class in 7-footer Ryan Hunt. A JUCO center at Eastern Arizona College, Hunt is averaging 14.9 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in his second season with the Monsters. Hailing from Perth, Australia, Hunt becomes the second JUCO recruit of TCU’s 2026 class (Trent Lincoln).

Hunt has played in 60 games and made 41 starts in his two years with Eastern Arizona College. The 7-footer is shooting 58 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from 3-point range over 29 games and 28 starts during the 2025-26 season. Hunt, who held offers from Maryland, Bowling Green and more, is TCU’s third 2026 recruit. The Horned Frogs are currently 18-10 and 8-7 in the Big 12 with three regular-season contests remaining.
