The first member of Shaka Smart’s 2018 class capitalized on the Early Signing Period and signed his National Letter of Intent with the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday.
A local four-star prospect out of Austin Westlake, Cunningham committed to Texas on Aug. 4 after a breakout Adidas Gauntlet circuit, in which he averaged 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds. Such an effort served as another step forward in the production department after Cunningham earned District MVP honors last season after averaging 14.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.9 blocks for Austin Westlake.
As Cunningham’s productivity levels rose, so too did the activity in his recruitment.
