In a move no one saw coming—because, let’s face it, the kid lives five minutes down the road—the Texas Longhorns have officially announced they’re putting a “save the date” sticker on the calendar for their most likely recruit yet: a legacy shooting guard who’s been in Burnt Orange since birth. The coaching staff, ever the masters of suspense, have bragged about a “one-in-three chance” of sealing the deal. That’s right, 33.3 percent confidence delivered with all the gravitas of a blockbuster movie trailer.
Sources close to the player (read: his mom) confirm he’s flattered but low-key confused by all the hoopla. After all, this is the same program that turned signing local talent into a nail-biter. Will they? Won’t they? Will the skies open, and will horns blare when the commitment email pops in? Texas officials are promising a reveal that will “definitely not disappoint, probably.” Meanwhile, the Longhorn faithful are stocking up on popcorn—because why watch live sports when you can watch prime-time drama unfold entirely within city limits?
