Head coach Shaka Smart and the Texas Longhorns picked up a surprise commitment from 2021 guard Emarion Ellis nearly two weeks ago. Except it wasn’t really a surprise to Ellis nor the Longhorns.
The combo guard from Davenport (Iowa) Assumption has sneakily moved up recruiting ranking websites over the past few months — going from a three-star to a four-star in the Rivals ranking and is now ranked 94th nationally. The 6’5 Ellis may look like a raw prospect on paper, but the tape tells a different story.
