The 2019 Texas basketball recruiting class looks like it just missed out on the final opportunity it had to add a key player with the final scholarship available.
Head Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart had one scholarship left to use for this 2019 signing class after the transfer intention was announced from experienced shooting gaurd Elijah Mitrou-Long. The transfer news of Mitrou-Long was pretty surprising considering he was a former transfer from Mount St. Mary’s before making his way to the Forty Acres.
Mitrou-Long was a key part of the rotation this past season for the Texas basketball program, but he will look to take his talents elsewhere this summer.
