Dani Akigbogun

[outlookdude]

Just saw someone on Orangebloods copypaste a tweet from the Denver Post saying that Dani Akigbogun, 2014 post, has committed to Texas.

That is all I have so far to indicate it was true.

Saw the same. Says she was Miss Colorado basketball too.

Don't know much about her but welcome! I would guess we are out of it for Jatarie White.

Diani is the player on the left

Welcome, Diani!

I agree that this probably completes recruiting for 2014. A much needed post in this class. Sounds like a great fit for the team: active on both ends, defends well.

Welcome Diani to Texas.
She is a good recruit, that fits our style very well.

Diani chose Texas over USC, Baylor, Michigan and South Florida...not a bad offer list! She loved Austin so much she canceled her scheduled trip to Baylor.

 

[BabHorn]

Now that's good to hear that she liked UT that much!

 

[DINO22]

Hard work by the Coaching Staff is paying off.

We might have one 'ship remaining for next season, but it's hard to tell based on already having 4 verbal commitments for the 2015 class.

I hope we're still pursuing Trinity Valley JUCO All-American, 6'4 Adut Bulgak. She visited this summer.

Welcome to Texas, Diani!

Recently, seems like a lot of JUCOs have waited until the Spring to make their verbal commitments and sign their LOIs. I'm sure some do sign in November, but haven't followed JUCO recruiting too closely.

 

[BabHorn]

If Horns could find room for Adut Bulgak, no doubt they could find room for Jatarie White. Might be a matter of who commits first or who commits elsewhere, as the case may be.

Diani's team, Regis Jesuit, won their second consecutive 5A state championship today. Diani had 21 pts.
