No. 1 class of 2016 player pledges to Kansas

Kansas just entered the conversation for the 2017 national title.

Yes, one commitment can do that, and in this case, it's a huge one. Josh Jackson verbally pledged to KU on Monday night. The 6-foot-7 shooting guard from Detroit is considered by some -- including the 247 composite -- to be the best player in the Class of 2016. Better than Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum, both of whom are going to Duke. Better than Kentucky-bound De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.

Next year I will be attending Kansas University ???? #RCJH pic.
