Link Academy's five-star power forward Chris Cenac Jr. has been red-hot, with Link Academy being one of the top high school programs in the country.

However, few actually know that he started a documentary series on his own YouTube channel last year. The fifth episode of the documentary series was released on Sunday and there, he documents his choice of going with the Houston Cougars.

In the video, Chris Cenac Jr. opened up about his commitment, revealing that he initially wanted to hold off his announcement until February. However, he explained why he had a change of heart and moved the announcement up a few months.

"Yo, commitment day man, a big day. I've been waiting so long for this and honestly it came sooner than I expected, like, thought I was going to commit until February but the school when I visited, when I met the coaching staff, when I met everyone on campus, the team, it just felt like home. So, I was like, I just get it over with and this is a school for me," said Chris Cenac Jr. (5:17-5:42)

Cenac announced that he will be going to Houston during a Bleacher Report livestream on Nov. 26, choosing to wear an "H" chain featuring the school's logo.

"I'll be going to the University of Houston," announced Chris Cenac Jr. "Houston Coach Samson is a great coach, great guy. I trust him, the coaching staff, they want to get me better. They know what I need to work on to get to the next level, so I'm happy to be with them. Trust them and that great team, I love it there, so that's the school for me." (13:57-14:32)

Houston has put together three 5-Stars, including Chris Cenac Jr.

When it comes to recruitment, Houston has been red-hot so far, as the Texas-based school has gotten not one, not two, but three five-stars for this year. Chris Cenac Jr. is the highest ranking among them at No. 7, followed by No. 11-ranked Isiah Hartwell, a shooting guard from Wasatch Academy in Indiana.

The school's third five-star is No. 13-ranked Kingston Felmings, a point guard from William J. Brennan in San Antonio, Texas. Three-star shooting guard Bryce Hackson has also already signed with Houston, and he is ranked No. 212 and is currently playing for Shadow Creek in Texas. However, Cenac remains the school's top prize for now.
