Texas basketball secured its fifth commitment via the NCAA Transfer Portal this offseason on July 6, landing the former UCF Knights redshirt senior shooting guard Ithiel Horton. New full-time head coach Rodney Terry and this staff landed Horton’s commitment out of the portal over the Kansas Jayhawks.
Horton’s commitment to Texas via the portal comes the day after he officially visited Austin on July 5. He was also scheduled to visit Lawrence this week to see head coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks. But On3 reported on July 6 that Horton canceled the Kansas official visit after committing to Texas.
