Shaka Smart signs another elite local big and two more prospects on ideal trajectories

On Wednesday, the Texas Longhorns basketball program signed three prospects in a class that slots at No. 6 nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings in terms of average ranking, but perhaps possesses even more upside than the rankings indicate.

“We’re very excited about our three signees and what they mean for the future of our program,” head coach Shaka Smart said in a statement released by the school. “All three come from very strong basketball backgrounds and possess a competitiveness that will help them make the transition to the college game. This class fits a variety of needs for our program and will make an immediate impact on next year’s team.
