The Texas Longhorns basketball team needs that one player who can step on the court and dominate the way former McDonalds’ All-American Kevin Durant once did way back in 2006-2007. Durant was poised for stardom and after one year he made the jump to the NBA. It was no different for Mohamed Bamba who was also highly touted.
Could Greg Brown III be on that same trajectory? Should Brown sign with Texas he would be their fifth highest recruit in school history according to 247. He is their lone top target of the 2020 recruiting class that doesn’t have single signee to this point.
According to Kirk Bohls of HookEm.com, the five-star power forward has bigger plans than playing college basketball. He is eyeing a one and one year. much like the previous top two recruits in program history. So the question remains will that be in Austin?
Many felt that Kentucky would be an option as the best bet to possibly play for a National Championship on his way out the door. However, the Wildcats have two of the top five power forwards in the nation who have already signed their letters of intent for UK.
The 247 website has Greg Brown III at 83 percent to sign with Texas. If he is looking for a one and done season where he can put his game on display, the Longhorns might be the best option. He would immediately come in and likely start for coach Smart.
The only question remains is if he will stay in Texas or choose another school for his one season. With every major program in the country gunning for him, the opportunities are endless.
