Texas has landed a commitment from 2021 four-star guard Tamar Bates. A 6-4 175 pound shooting guard, Bates is the Longhorns’ fourth commitment in the recruiting class.
Creighton, Kansas, and Missouri were the other three finalists. Bates talked about his decision with Stockrisers.com.
“I have an opportunity to play right away during my freshman year. I have built a great relationship with the coaching staff and they did a really great job of recruiting me.”
“We’re putting together a class that’s going to compete for a national championship along with the older guys that’ll already be there.”
