Five-star forward Precious Achiuwa will take an official visit to Memphis this weekend, according to a report by 247Sports Director of Basketball Recruiting Evan Daniels. 

Achiuwa, a 6-foot-9 forward, ranks No. 13 overall and No. 3 in Florida in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2019 recruiting class. 

Achiuwa, who also visited Memphis in October for Memphis Madness, is being sought by several other programs including North Carolina, Kansas and Connecticut. 

The five-star recruit is also a friend and competitor of Memphis target Lester Quinones and on social media has expressed interest in playing for the same school as the guard. 

Quinones is expected to make a college decision soon after visiting Indiana and Michigan later this month. 

Achiuwa averaged 15 points per game this season for Montverde Academy in Florida. The senior scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the East team in a 115-100 victory over the West team in the 2019 McDonald's All-American game last month.
