The recruiting experts at 247Sports' entered a crystal ball prediction for Amachree to stay close to home and commit to Michigan State late last week, but on Tuesday afternoon that prediction flipped to the Jayhawks.Amachree announced on Tuesday that he will be making his college commitment on Friday at 3 p.m.

ET.

He will be choosing between Michigan State, Kansas, Indiana, Pitt, Duke and Harvard.Amachree is listed as a four-star prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings, and holds a rating of 89.63.

He is ranked as the No.

24 running back and No.

He is also listed as the No.

We will be crashing out about this tonight on Locked On Spartans Fireball sommelier (@Sheehan_Sports) May 20, 2025Losing a 4 star...

Who is an in-state priority recruit...and also a legacy recruit...At our weakest position group...To fucking Kansas Eric (@DETszn) May 20, 2025Cant defend this anymore.

I got upset about clarizio when he flipped to bama, and they were able to flip him back.

Maybe that happens here.

But losing priority in state recruits to freaking Kansas is a joke.

Sad to see how far the program has fallen over the last ten years.

Disgrace.

Should have made the obvious home run hire of Urban Meyer.
