David Wingett - a sharp-shooting wing prospect in the 2018 class - announced his commitment to the University of Memphis on his Twitter account. A source confirmed to GoTigers247 that David Wingett has signed a NLI with the Memphis Tigers. The news was first reported on Twitter by Mark Giannotto.

As we reported yesterday, the possibility of Wingett comitting to the Tigers looked promising. Wingett took a visit over the weekend and has been a priority since the staff watched him during the second weekend of the spring evaluation period with Team Loaded NC.

Auburn, Missouri and Wichta State were the three heaviest hitters who had offered the 6-foot-7 wing. Arkansas, Dayton, Iowa State and others were heavily interested.

Memphis has now addressed their three-point shooting concerns in resounding fashion. Tyler Harris, Jayden Hardaway, Isaiah Maurice and now Wingett can all shoot from outside. Head coach Penny Hardaway’s inaugural class remains ranked 29th in the nation after Wingett’s signing.
