What could likely be the biggest news for the entirety of this offseason for the Texas basketball program dropped on the afternoon of April 24. The highly anticipated commitment decision date of five-star Vandegrift and Austin, TX, native power forward Greg Brown arrived. And head coach Shaka Smart and his Texas men’s hoops squad awaited eagerly to find out where Brown would be taking his talents to at the next level.
It looked as if the Texas Longhorns basketball program would be the front runner to land Brown’s commitment on Thursday afternoon. But an impending threat to the Longhorns getting Brown to the Forty Acres was a potential path to the NBA Draft through the G-League.
