Longhorn basketball coach Shaka Smart is on a run of his own, puncuated by a pledge from in-state Top 50 forward prospect
Gerald Liddell of
Steele (Cibolo).
Smart and Texas received a commitment less than a week ago from sharpshooter
Brock Cunningham of
Westlake (Austin, Texas).
Liddell, a 6-foot-7 small forward, is pegged as the No. 40 overall prospect in the Class of 2018 by
247Sports. He averaged 19.7 points and 8.6 rebounds per game as a junior while leading the Knights to 25 wins.
As a sophomore in 2015-16, he was the second-leading scorer for a Steele team that went 32-4 and reached the Class 6A state title game.
