College Basketball Early Signing Period


The University of Texas Longhorns and Iowa State Cyclones each saw four recruits faxing in their letters of intent on the first day of the early signing period. With the biggest 'get' thus far being the #2 point guard in the class, Myck Kabongo from Findlay Prep in Hnederson, NV going to the Horns. Kabongo will play under Rick Barnes in Austin next season.

Findlay Prep is the same basketball powerhouse that produced future Horns Avery Bradley, Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph.

A total of four Big 12 schools received LOIs on the first day of the early signing period.

More high school senior are expected to pledge to play at Big 12 schools as the early signing period rolls on through November 17.

Miguel says...

thank you for this. So, ISU only signed one JUCO? Seems like Hoiberg would try to speed up the process by getting more, but I don’t know anything about what’s going on at that school. That Texas class looks pretty strong. About as strong as I used to be with the stick back in 1996.

Were roids around in '96?

If the Longhorns could keep some kids around they will be a force to be reckoned with next year.
