Lyle originally committed to Louisville before deciding to withdraw his commitment in September. Lyle made his commitment at the Evansville Airport Holiday Inn by announcing he would attend University of Oregon and immediately putting on an Oregon Ducks hat.

Lyle considered Oklahoma State, Kansas and Memphis.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard is described by ESPN basketball recruiting writer Paul Bincardi as “a setup point guard with a strong body and is capable of playing as a freshman.” Rivals rates his shooting as “outstanding.”

Lyle is an Evansville, Ind., native but transferred from Evansville to play at Huntington Prep in West Virginia for his senior year. Kansas guard Andrew Wiggins and Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng are some of Huntington Prep’s alumni.
