On Monday morning, Shaka Smart and the Texas basketball program secured their first commitment for the 2021 class when 6-foot-9 big man Keeyan Itejere announced his pledge to the Longhorns.
I'm excited to announce I will be committing to Texas! I want to thank all the coaches that have recruited me. I'm grateful for my parents and the sacrifices they've made for me.....@GraceEagles @CHOSEN_COACH @HookEmSmart @UpwardStarsSE @TexasMBB @UC27Carolina @PaulBiancardi pic.twitter.com/JZSb2Qc3eX
