NCAA Basketball: 2022 4-star G Arterio Morris down to 5 schools

Arterio Morris has affirmed by yesterday’s announcement that his initial commitment to the Tigers and head coach Penny Hardaway is not being considered a second time around. The top-40 NCAA Basketball is now looking at a final group of Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Oregon, and Texas. Morris averaged 23.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 steals, and 2.2 blocks per game this season for Kimball HS (TX) and has shown noticeable offensive development in his overall arsenal.

This offseason Morris also announced he will be transferring to growing prep power iSchool of Lewisville to join 2022 5-star guard Keyonte George (undecided) and 4-star Cruz Davis (Oregon State). Alongside George, the duo may very well be the top backcourt in the state of Texas and also making it incredibly hard to top when viewed as a trio.

In regards to George, Morris listing Kansas and Texas provide the opportunity for the duo to play with each other again at the next level should that partnership be fruitful this season.

Morris has continued to improve offensively over the last year and a half, specifically becoming a bigger threat shooting on the move. The tenacious rim-runner is a highlight reel waiting to happen and would be a huge addition to each of these programs. Assessing each program’s fit with his playing style and opportunity to play early, I rank the remaining options ahead of a potential commitment date later this year.
