Bill Self and the Kansas basketball staff are off to a tremendous start to their 2022 recruiting class, and it just got stronger with the addition of small forward MJ Rice.
According to 247Sports, Rice is a 6-foot-5, five-star small forward out of Napa, California currently ranked as the No. 20 recruit in the country.
Though his offer list isn’t overly impressive, his commitment immediately catapults KU’s 2022 recruiting class into the top five. The Jayhawks now sit at No. 2 in the country with commitments from Rice and four-star forwards Zuby Ejiofor and Gradey Dick.
