Texas Basketball and Shaka Smart needed a Point Guard in this recruiting season. The Longhorns definitely got their man for 2017 in the form of Oak Hill Academy star Matt Coleman.
Coleman announced his commitment to Texas during the first game of ESPNU’s day-long coverage of the “Spalding Hoophall Classic.” Then, Coleman and his Oak Hill teammates put on a show in the second game.
Oak Hill lost by three points to Seattle’s undefeated Nathan Hale school coached by former Portland Trail Blazers star Brandon Roy. But, the nationally televised game was more about a showcase of talent on both sides.
