Kansas has extended a basketball scholarship offer to Tichyque Musaka, a 6-foot-11, 190-pound high school sophomore center from Valley Christian School in San Jose, California, Zagsblog.com reports.
Musaka, who is originally from Kinshasa, Congo, is also being recruited by TCU, Oregon, USC, Georgetown, DePaul and others.
"They're a top-five team nationally," Musaka said of KU in an interview with Zagsblog.com.
NBAdraft.net's Evan Tomes watched Musaka play at the 2019 Crossroads Elite Invitational.
"Musaka ran the floor well and dunked everything around the rim," wrote Tomes. "He has thin legs, but his base held its own in the post. Although he scored all his points in the paint, he shows a workable jump shot. Defensively, he was the best shot blocker in the camp and did a great job of not fouling while contesting."
Mikey Williams, a 6-2 freshman point guard from San Ysidro (Calif.) High School in San Diego, has received a scholarship offer from KU, Zagsblog.com reports.
Williams at this early date is considering KU, Memphis, Tennessee, Oregon, UCLA, Texas Tech, San Diego State, USC, San Diego, Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, New Mexico and others.
Williams was named MaxPreps' 2019-20 freshman of the year after averaging 29.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 32 games. He scored 77 points in a single game Dec. 13.
Here is his recruiting evaluation by Josh Gershon of 247sports.com: "Extremely productive combo guard with good size and length. Strong kid for age but not maxed out physically. High level athlete who is an explosive finisher. Has range to perimeter with jumper and is pretty consistent three-point shooter. Has handle and vision to facilitate and play on ball full time. Physical tools to be a good defender. Level of fame at age is current biggest obstacle to overcome."
