North High School's Tyreke Locure brings the ball down the court during opening night of the YMCA Capital City Men's Basketball League 2018 season on Sunday, June 17, 2018, at West Des Moines Valley High School.

Locure, who tweeted his decision, led North to a 20-4 record in 2017-18 and was a dominant two-way player in Iowa's biggest classification. He finished with 94 steals and averaged 28.1 points for North. 

He was being monitored by Iowa and others. 

Locure, who will be a senior, is originally from the New Orleans area.
