He decided to join Memphis over UNC, Kansas, UConn, and others.
Earlier this week, No. 1 prospect James Wiseman also committed to the Tigers.

From the Commercial Appeal:
Achiuwa’s motor, along with his size and strength, will give Memphis another elite defender and an interior scoring threat to play next to No. 1 overall prospect Wiseman. Both of the recruits played together in the McDonald’s All-American game in March, when Achiuwa scored 22 points and added nine rebounds.
Memphis previously landed four-star guards Boogie Ellis and Lester Quinones.
As a result, Penny Hardaway’s squad currently has the top recruiting class in the country.
