Three-star shooting guard Donovan Williams has put Texas in his final three. Oklahoma State and Kansas State join the race for him as well.

Williams announced his final three schools on Twitter on Monday, putting Texas down along with Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Coming out of Lincoln, Nebraska, Williams will be heading to the Big 12 no matter his school of choice.

Currently, 247Sports’ Crystal Ball predicts Oklahoma State, where Williams would be joining an already loaded recruiting class.
His decision date is reportedly next Monday and will choose between the three schools. If Williams does choose Texas, he will be the first recruit of the 2020 class for Shaka Smart.
Also looking to bring in Greg Brown later this month, the two highschoolers could bring depth and talent to an already loaded Longhorn roster. With success needed in 2020-2021 from Shaka Smart, the addition of Williams will help next season.

The Texas Longhorns hosted an unofficial visit with Jalen Smith. Smith is a three-star guard out of Oak Ridge (Orlando, FL). His ranking is courtesy of Rivals. So far the 2021 point guard has received eight offers and none of which are from a Big 12 school.
Texas unofficial visit today 🤘🏽 #HookEm

Smith does have two offers within the state (Southern Methodist, Texas State). For the 2021 class, the Longhorns only have one offer made to a point guard with Isael Silva of Jesuit (Carmichael, CA), who is a four-star prospect and the number four point guard in the country.
The Longhorns will be needing to retool by the time 2021 rolls around as Kerwin Roach, Andrew Jones and Matt Coleman III will all be gone following the 2021 season.
Three-star CB Ennis Rakestraw will be visiting UT this weekend. Rakestraw would be the second CB Texas would sign in the 2020 class.
Hosting a few recruits this weekend, it seems another one will be heading down to Austin this weekend for a visit. Ennis Rakestraw tweeted out that he was on his way to the 40 acres this weekend. A three-star cornerback, Rakestraw would be the second cornerback Texas would sign in this year’s recruiting class.
Listed at 6 feet 170 pounds, Rakestraw is from Duncanville, Texas. Attending Duncanville High School, if he were to sign with the Longhorns, he would join high school teammate Ja’Quinden Jackson in the 2020 class.

Only two other Big 12 teams are in on Rakestraw, as Baylor and Kansas have also given him offers. Local Texas schools have done the same, with SMU, North Texas, and Texas Southern being on his offer list.
The main threat to the Longhorns, however, are the Alabama Crimson Tide. 247Sports Crystal Ball currently has him 100% going to Alabama as he visited Tuscaloosa last weekend. With signing day a couple days away, Rakestraw would be a solid addition to a strong 2020 class.

This is the third recruit that Texas and Utah have gone back and forth with this season. Four-star defensive end Van Fillinger and three-star all-purpose back Ty Jordan were both once Texas commits that ended up signing with the Utes.
Texas now sits at No. 9 on the 247Sports team rankings after finishing yesterday at No. 10. Ford is the fourth four-star the Longhorns have signed in 2020, getting their 17th player of the cycle.
