Got a commitment from former Vanderbilt guard, Malik Presley. Rarely played this year as a true Freshman. Developmental guy who could work his way into the rotation in a couple of years.
From Gerry Hamilton:
Texas adds Vanderbilt transfer guard
The Texas Longhorns added one more perimeter player to the roster Monday. Vanderbilt transfer 6-6 guard Malik Presley (San Marcos, Texas/High) announced he will join the Texas program.
Presley will provide depth in 2024-25, and will fight for minutes in the two years following. Presley averaged 2.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists as a freshman.. He appeared in 26 games with five starts in 2023-24.
Presley continues the Texas goal of having bigger options in the backcourt moving forward. He's the second 6-6 left handed guard to join the program out of the portal.

Not a huge surprise, but we didn't get Garrison. The surprise, however, was him going to Kentucky.
These two our now on our radar:

There's a name I haven't thought of in a long time!We need to get Dogus Balbay to recruit Burke B. to Texas.
Balbay has had a very successful international basketball career. Still playing I'm pretty sure.
He recently retired from international basketball and was helping with the team last season. Hopefully that continues and he can use those Turkish connections to help us out even more.
I'll need to delete emails for for legal reasons, but I'll post the president of the Kentucky email for you, SHA. Since, you seem to be the main person whom has a weird belief on Beard.
I had forgotten all about this. I'd suggest you do the same. Life is too short to get that worked up about it. Weird belief or not.
PS: deleting emails doesn't help you, legally. If they want your emails, they will get them.
That's true. 30+ years in high tech, it's amazing what they can do.
