The 2019 Texas basketball recruiting class doesn’t have much room left to add an elite prospect that just reclassified. A kid that grew up in the backyard of the Texas basketball program, five-star top former 2020 guard RJ Hampton, should be a slam dunk to get to the Forty Acres. Yet, RJ Hampton doesn’t even have Texas basketball among his finalist schools.
Two of the four schools that RJ Hampton has among his finalists are Big 12 basketball rivals of the Texas Longhorns basketball program. Those two schools include the Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Tech Red Raiders.
