Kansas basketball’s lone 2019 recruiting pledge wants this player to join him at KU

While some prospects remain cautious about being recruited by schools tied to the FBI’s investigation of college basketball, Kansas’ lone 2019 commit, Markese Jacobs, remains unworried about his future school.

Speaking at the Peach Invitational, a tournament on the summer circuit that runs alongside Nike’s Peach Jam here, Jacobs said the Jayhawks coaching staff hasn’t given him reason to worry.

“I haven’t heard anything,” he told The Star. “I’m not worried. I don’t get into all of that.”

Jacobs, a 5-foot-11 point guard, showcased his vertical leaping ability on Thursday in a win over UPlay Canada, as he nearly pulled off a couple of alley-oop dunks that most players his size could only dream of attempting.
