Three-star recruit David Tubek decommits from Memphis

David Tubek, a three-star forward in the class of 2023, has decommitted from Memphis, he told On3.

The 6-foot-8 senior out of Glendale (Ariz.) Dream City Christian committed to the Tigers back in November. Prior to committing to Memphis, Tubek considered Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and others.

Tubek provided the following statement to On3:

“First off, I would like to thank coach Penny and his entire coaching staff for recruiting me and giving me opportunity to play at university of Memphis. Also, I would like to thank the tiger nation for the endless love and support. After careful consideration with my family, I have decided to reopen my recruitment.”

Tubek is ranked as the No. 298 overall prospect in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3). 

Memphis still retains six commitments in the 2023 class: four-star guard Mikey Williams (No. 25), four-star guard Ty-Laur Johnson (No. 79), four-star forward JJ Taylor (No. 72), four-star forward Ashton Hardaway (No. 105), four-star wing Carl Cherenfant (No. 124), and three-star guard Ryan Forrest (No. 264).
