Minnesota prep big man Zeke Nnaji includes KU on list of five possible schools

Zeke Nnaji, a 6-foot-10, 215-pound senior forward from Hopkins (Minn.) High who is ranked No. 37 in the recruiting Class of 2019 by Rivals.com, has cut his list of schools to Kansas, Baylor, Arizona, Purdue and UCLA, he reported Sunday on Twitter.

Nnaji made an unofficial recruiting visit to KU last weekend. He has had in-home visits with coaches from KU, Kentucky, Kansas State, Baylor, Minnesota, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio State, Georgetown and UCLA.

‘It was a really good visit with coach (Bill) Self and his staff,” Zeke’s dad, Apham Nnaji, told Zagsblog.com.

“They see him, (Matthew) Hurt and (Jeremiah) Robinson-Earl co-existing and really doing well, just like (Andrew) Wiggins and (Joel) Embiid did,” Apham Nnaji added.
