Wichita State basketball’s 2025 recruiting class got its first verbal commitment on Wednesday night.
Three-star guard Tyrus Rathan-Mayes announced his commitment to the Shockers on social media. Rathan-Mayes, a Canadian who played AAU basketball in Houston, is ranked 168th nationally and 13th ranked player in the state of Texas by 247Sports.
Rathan-Mayes is the second WSU recruit in the past two years to play for former Shocker basketball player P.J. Couisnard’s Legacy School of Sport Sciences AAU team in Houston. Zion Pipkin, who joined the team as a freshman this year, also played under Couisnard.
