Minnesota prep forward/KU recruiting target Matthew Hurt sets decision date

Kansas recruiting target Matthew Hurt, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from John Marshall High in Rochester, Minn., will announce his college choice on April 19, he tells USA Today from Atlanta, where he will play in Wednesday’s McDonald’s All-America game.

“My birthday is on April 20 so I’m gonna do it the day before,” Hurt, the No. 7 rated player in the recruiting Class of 2019 by Rivals.com, said Monday.

He said he’s mainly focusing on KU, Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina. Yet Memphis and Minnesota are also on his list. His brother, Michael, is a junior forward at Minnesota.
