Mohamed Bamba, one of the most coveted players in the 2017 recruiting class, announced Thursday that he's planning to play college basketball at Texas.
He posted word of his Longhorns choice on The Players' Tribune.
"Everybody's recruiting process is unique in some way, and mine was no different," Bamba wrote. "Watching my family grow and solidify its bond was by far my favorite part of the experience. The world is bigger than 94 by 50 feet, and we all agreed that Texas offers me an exceptional opportunity to blaze my own trail on the basketball front with the comfort of knowing that no matter what happens, I've got an unrivaled support network to lean on for whenever the ball stops bouncing.
