5-star forward Gradey Dick commits to Kansas

Gradey Dick is committing to Kansas, he announced Wednesday.

Dick, a 6-foot-7 forward ranked No. 21 in the ESPN 60 for the class of 2022, is a native of nearby Wichita, Kansas. He chose the Jayhawks over Baylor, Florida, Illinois, and others.

"I think it's just the culture and the tradition there," Dick told Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World. "Growing up going to games and seeing a packed house every night, that's just something I want to be a part of."

Dick joins 4-star guard Kyle Cuffe Jr. in Kansas' 2022 recruiting class.
