Recruiting stakes increase for Kansas as Achiuwa commits to Memphis

With Precious Achiuwa verbally committing to play for the Memphis Tigers next season, the stakes have raised increasingly on the recruiting trail for Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.

The No. 17 rated player in the Rivals 2019 player rankings said no to the storied tradition and passionate fanbase that Kansas basketball has to offer. Instead, Precious Achiuwa will be joining fellow top player James Wiseman to highlight the current No. 1 ranked recruiting class in the country, the Memphis Tigers.

While Achiuwa’s name can now be crossed off the list of potential 2019 Kansas signees, the Jayhawks are still in a great place to land not only the No.
