Markese Jacobs, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound senior from Chicago’s Uplift Community High School who was committed to play for the Kansas basketball team, has reopened his recruitment, his Mac Irvin Fire AAU team announced Friday on Twitter.
Jacobs — ranked No 92 in the recruiting Class of 2018 by Rivals.com — averaged 18.4 points, 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals a game his junior year at Uplift. He had orally committed to KU in October 2016.
Jacobs started slowly during this past AAU spring/summer season, but played well for Mac Irvin Fire in the last couple tournaments.
“My next step is pretty much to open up my recruitment and I’m still considering Kansas,” Jacobs told 247sports.
