Markese Jacobs still has two years of high school to complete before he begins his college career at Kansas during the 2019-20 season.
By then, fellow Chicago native/former Mac Irvin Fire AAU teammate Charlie Moore will be a redshirt junior, with two years of eligibility remaining with the Jayhawks.
“It’s exciting. It’s crazy how it’s all falling together. It’s all the pieces of the puzzle falling into place,” Jacobs, a 5-foot-11 sophomore from Chicago’s Uplift Community High School said Wednesday in a phone interview.
If all goes according to the current plan, 5-foot-11 Cal freshman Moore, who on Tuesday announced plans to transfer from the Pac-12 school to KU, will replace next year’s starting point guard (either Devonté Graham or still-uncommitted one-and-done recruit Trevon Duval) during the 2018-19 campaign.
