MEMPHIS, Tenn. —  The University of Memphis has secured another top recruit in five-star forward Precious Achiuwa.

According to reports from CBS Sports, the 6-foot-9, 215-pound small forward from Montverde Academy in Florida committed to the Tigers on Friday, effectively pushing Penny Hardaway’s team to the best recruiting class in the country.

Achiuwa chose the Tigers over the likes of Kansas, North Carolina, UConn and Georgia, Sports Illustrated reported.

Achiuwa joins top-ranking recruits Boogie Ellis, Lester Quinones, D.J. Jeffries and James Wiseman on the Tigers.
