Kansas point guard commit Markese Jacobs may have played better than his No. 92 national ranking — by Rivals.com — during the just-completed summer AAU season.
“Markese ‘TheShow’ Jacobs ... Had a Great July!! He won four games at the buzzer. He’s been unstoppable. He’s showed he can lock down anybody. He improved tremendously at the PG position. He’s the strongest PG in the 2019 class,” gushed a recent post from the Twitter account of Jacobs’ Chicago Mac Irvin Fire AAU team.
Jacobs, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound senior point guard from Chicago’s Uplift Community High School who verbally committed to KU in October 2016, cashed game-winning buckets in AAU victories over Seattle Rotary and YIS Team Speed at last weekend’s Las Vegas Classic.
