This defensive stalwart could be the final piece to Wichita State's recruiting class | The Wichita Eagle

Wichita State may be a late arrival to the recruitment of 2018 prospect Aguek Arop, but the Shockers have made the final cut for the 6-foot-6 forward from South Sudan who could be the final piece to this year's recruiting class.

Arop was originally committed to Nebraska, as he was an in-state star and led Omaha South to back-to-back state championships. But the Huskers pulled his scholarship and Arop decided to reclassify to 2018 and play a post-graduate year at The-Skill-Factory in Woodstock, Ga., where he averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists.

According to his coach, Rob Johnson, Arop has narrowed his choices down to San Diego State, Texas, and Wichita State and plans to use his final three official visits to those programs.
