Junior forward King likes KU

Kansas University basketball recruiting.

Fort Worth, Texas ? V.J. King, a 6-7 junior small forward from Paul VI High in Fairfax, Virginia, tells Rivals.com he has heard from college basketball coaches from Kansas University, Kentucky, UConn, Florida, North Carolina, Louisville, Maryland and North Carolina State.

Rivals.com’s No. 18-rated player in the recruiting Class of 2016 played his sophomore season at St. Vincent St. Mary in Akron, Ohio.

“I’ll probably be committed (to a college) by the beginning of next year’s season,” King tells Eric Bossi of Rivals.com. “I’ll have a final list by the beginning of the summer.”

Bossi says King is “a long and rangy wing who is a pull-up jump shot specialist. He has added some strength and has decided that he needs to make better use of his size advantage as much as possible.”
