Memphis earns No. 1 class with recruit Achiuwa

Five-star senior Precious Achiuwa announced his commitment to Memphis on Friday, giving Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Tigers the No. 1 recruiting class in the country.

Achiuwa, who is Memphis' fourth commitment in the last week, chose the Tigers over Kansas, although he also took an official visit to North Carolina.

Achiuwa, a 6-foot-9 forward from New York who attends Montverde Academy (Florida), is ranked No. 17 in the ESPN 100. He slots in as the No. 5 power forward in the country, but he likely will play small forward at the next level.
