Texas basketball continues busy month on recruiting trail

Hank South (Horns 247)
 

Texas basketball recruiting has been active over the last month. The Longhorns staff landed five-star combo guard Cam Scott in August and have started welcoming official visitors on campus the last two weekends, with more to come.

Here’s a look at the main prospects of note at the moment.

Tre Johnson, 5-star SG, Brandon (Mo.) Link Academy (originally from Lake Highlands)

Johnson officially visited Austin for the second time the weekend before last, spending quality time with Rodney Terry, the coaching staff, Dillon Mitchell and even some of the football team. The Longhorns are part of Johnson’s top six, the 247Sports Crystal Ball currently trending towards Baylor. He has more official visits upcoming to Alabama and Waco.

Curtis Givens III, 4-star PG, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

One of Texas’ two official visitors this past weekend, Givens is considering a handful of programs like the Longhorns, Georgia Tech, Indiana, and LSU, among others. Sources tell Horns247 the visit was a success and there’s positive vibes in regards to UT’s chances at the moment. This weekend Givens will be in Bloomington where the Hoosiers will try to work their magic.

Josiah Moseley, 3-star PF, Round Rock (Texas) Stony Point

Joining Givens this past weekend on the Forty Acres was Moseley, and just like his fellow official visitor, there’s optimism that Texas is trending in the right direction here with a strong showing throughout the local standout’s stay. Texas has proximity and familiarity in its favor, up against Georgia Tech, Illinois, Villanova, and USC.

Asa Newell, 5-star PF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

The football star power will be in Tuscaloosa this weekend, but the basketball star power will be home, as the five-star forward makes his highly anticipated official visit to Austin. Texas is taking on Auburn, Georgia, Gonzaga, and Indiana, among others for the 6-foot-9, 205-pounder.

Liam McNeeley, 5-star SF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

Monteverde Mania as another top target resides at the Florida powerhouse. McNeeley will return to Austin for a second official visit later this month, with programs like Indiana and Kansas presenting the chief competition.

Robert Miller, 4-star PF, Pasadena (Texas) Pasadena Memorial

The in-state forward will officially visit Texas at the end of September. He’s considering Alabama, LSU, Colorado and the Longhorns. A decision is likely to come after the OV slate, with the Longhorns getting the last crack at it.

Nicolas Codie, 4-star PF, Carrollton (Texas) Newman Smith

Codie trimmed his list to seven in late July, with the Longhorns making the cut. "They made it known that I am their priority,” he told 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins. “Coach Rodney Terry always sends me texts. We are always texting back and forth. We have a really good relationship. They went pretty far last year. It is a really good program and they send people to the draft. Dillon Mitchell will probably go to the draft next year and they will need someone to fill his role. I feel I would be a good fit for them because I fit their scheme. It is a big thing to have an offer from there and who would not want to go there?” Codie is expected on campus in Austin for the Wyoming game weekend on an official visit. Others in play include TCU, Virginia Tech, LSU, Houston, Miami, and Auburn.

Aiden Sherrell, 4-star C, Napa (Calif.) Prolific Prep

Sherrell pushed back his commitment date last month with Texas becoming more involved. Alabama was considered the favorite prior to the delay. He doesn’t plan to visit Austin this fall, at least not at the moment. He says he feels he knows everything he needs to know about Texas via his communication with the staff. No new commitment timetable is known.

Cooper Flagg, 5-star PF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

The No. 1 player in the country recently reclassified to 2024. As things look now, it doesn’t appear Flagg will end up in Austin when all is said and done, but the Longhorns have been and will continue to recruit him. Duke is trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

Gerry has said he thinks we absolutely crushed the Tre Johnson visit and thinks we probably lead (and that the NIL he can make here is greater than what he can get paid to go the G-League route).

We are slowly moving into “Mark Adams/Rodney Terry was the real genius behind Beard” territory, just like Tech fans 2 years ago

Who the heck are Bo and Chris Odgen?

Chris Ogden is a future athletic director somewhere and could wind up being one at Texas if things fall the right way. He's being groomed currently to be one and will likely be the Assistant AD for Basketball if a role like that is created any time soon.

Gerry mentioned he sees himself as a one and done and staff thinks he’s a 2 year guy so they mutually walked away from each other. 

RT is being truthful and straight up with kids. This is helping his reputation especially in Texas, after some important people in the state soured on the Texas program some because of Beard and the whole Holland situation. But sometimes in recruiting you gotta be a little slimy and tell kids/circles what they want to hear. I promise you Self is telling McNeeley whatever he needs to hear regardless if it’s true or not.

Those guys I know.  It's the Odgens I'm unfamiliar with.

Men’s Basketball signs Scott, Codie to National Letters of Intent

 

Rodney Terry’s staff inks pair of top-50 national prospects for the 2024-25 season

 

AUSTIN, Texas — A pair of top-50 national high school prospects have signed National Letters of Intent to play basketball next season at The University of Texas, head coach Rodney Terry announced Wednesday. Cam Scott (Lexington, S.C.) and Nic Codie (Carrollton, Texas) will join the Longhorns for the 2024-25 season.

The two-man class is currently No. 9 nationally in the Class of 2024 team rankings by On3.

Scott (6-5, 185), a guard from Lexington, S.C., who has plays at Lexington High School, is ranked as the No. 24 prospect in the nation by ESPN, No. 27 by 247 Sports Composite, No. 29 by On3, No. 30 by Rivals and No. 37 by 247 Sports. In his junior year in 2022-23, he averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.4 steals per game while leading Lexington to a 20-7 record and a trip to the Class AAAAA state semifinals. Scott was named the South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year following his junior season. He earned co-MVP honors in June at the Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas after averaging 24.6 points per game while hitting 57-percent from three-point range.

"Cam Scott has a very impressive blend of smoothness, pace to his game with burst and athletic vertical pop at 6-foot-5," said Gerry Hamilton, senior national recruiting analyst for On3.com. "He plays within the flow of the offense and possesses a very good feel for offensive basketball. As his handle and footwork have developed, Scott is creating more space to get clean looks off the bounce. He also has the foot quickness, length and reactive quickness at 6-5 to be a talented defender. Along with being one of the most talented players in the country, Scott possesses the characteristics that will thrive in the culture of the Texas program."

Codie (6-8, 200), a forward from Carrollton, Texas who plays at Newman Smith High School, is ranked as the No. 40 prospect in the nation by On3, No. 41 prospect by Rivals, No. 45 by 247 Sports Composite and No. 46 by 247 Sports. The top-ranked player in the state of Texas in the Class of 2024, Codie averaged 16 points and nine rebounds per game as a junior in 2022-23 while leading Newman Smith to a 22-8 record and the District 9-5A championship.

"Nic Codie is a player who has made a steady climb over his high school career, with much of his overall game exploding his past spring and summer," said Blue Zertuche of Great American Shoot-Out "GASO." "Texas is getting a prospect who has the athleticism, length and natural ability to compete at an extremely high level in the SEC. Codie has shown that he can cover a lot of space very quickly to grab a rebound or get a put back. He is skilled, has a nice touch from the elbow area and will extend his game past the three-point arc."
