New Longhorn Commit This Morning

[BRAGGonUT]

This is a good way to start a week.

Gerry Hamilton of BurntOrangeBeat.com has the latest on the newest Longhorn commitment...

The Texas basketball program has been on a recruiting roll since March rivaled by only two or three teams in college basketball. On Monday, the roll continued as St. Benedict Prep and Grassroots AAU point guard Myck Kabongo committed to Texas Head Coach Rick Barnes. Kabongo, a sophomore, is one of the top prospects in the 2011 class and joins junior teammate Tristan Thompson as future Longhorns.

Don't know much about the kid, but that school puts out some studs.

WTH? Basketball accepts commitments from Sophmores now?

 

[OUsucksATMblows]

You can verbally commit almost anytime you want. But you can't sign til your junior or senior year

Impressive list of offers...

Great get. Barnes and the staff are on a tear and accumulating some ridiculous amount of talent. I can't wait to see what he can do with this bunch...

ESPN's recruiting service says he could be the John Wall of his class if he continues to improve and grows a few inches like expected. Seems to be a kid pretty much sans weakness, though the shot could get more consistent.

ESPN also ranks him as the #15 prospect on their early 2011 list.

Way to go Rick

This kid may be the missing ingredient in in our Championship run. Great job Barnes and co.
