New Western Kentucky men’s basketball coach Rick Stansbury said at this introductory news conference he was going to shoot for the same type of players he recruited for Mississippi State and Texas A&M.
That wasn’t just talk.
WKU offered Andre Rafus – a four-star forward in the 2017 class – on Tuesday night.
Rafus posted on Twitter that the Hilltoppers are his 28th offer. His other offers include Kansas, Syracuse, Cal, USC, UNLV and many others.
The 6-foot-9, 195-pound prospect is originally from Baltimore but played this year at Roselle Catholic (N.J.) High School. He plays his AAU ball for Team Melo.
Rafus is rated the 71st-best prospect in the 2017 class by Scout, as well as the 10th-best small forward.
