In basketball recruiting news, 2024 five-star prospect Tre Johnson has narrowed down his college choices to two schools: Texas and Baylor. Johnson, a 6-5 shooting guard from Texas, has eliminated Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, and Kansas from consideration. This announcement was made on his Instagram account. Another player in the spotlight is Rakease Passmore, a powerful and athletic wing. Passmore is known for his explosive finishing ability, transition threat, and improving spot-up shooting. He is also an engaged defender with potential on that end of the floor. Passmore is set to make his decision today at 7pm on the 247Sports channel. In a separate development, ESPN 100 wing Rakease Passmore has committed to Kansas. Passmore cited the coaching staff, the winning culture, and the support for players as reasons for choosing Kansas. This makes Passmore the third commit for Kansas in the class of 2024, joining elite big man Flory Bidunga. Additionally, 2024 top-75 prospect Chase McCarty has announced that he will reveal his college decision on Friday, October 13th at 3:00 PM CT. Billy Richmond, another top recruit in the class of 2024, has narrowed down his choices to four schools. With the commitment of Rakease Passmore, Kansas' 2024 class moves up to the third spot in the composite team rankings. Passmore is described as an explosive 6-foot-5 wing with a steady perimeter stroke. Overall, these developments in the basketball recruiting world highlight the narrowing choices and commitments of top prospects for the class of 2024.
Love the fit for @rakease at #Kansas. Best basketball ahead. Best high-wire act in 2024 and a steady stroke from the perimeter. @CombineMbb
