Predicting Texas’s Next Commitment After C Jamie Vinson
Texas’s 2025 recruiting class could gain momentum in the coming months. On June 3, Texas basketball and head coach Rodney Terry secured a third commitment for the 2024 recruiting class from Jamie Vinson, a former Vanderbilt signee and three-star center from Austin’s Oak Hill. Vinson chose Texas over Kentucky, South Carolina, and Rutgers.
Who might be the next to commit to Texas basketball?
With Vinson added, Terry’s roster now has 12 scholarship players for the 2024-25 season, Texas’s first year in the SEC. The team can still add one more player if desired.
Vinson offers valuable length and physical potential as an athletic low post player, capable of playing both the four and the five positions. His addition addresses Texas’s need for a two-way low post player, bringing length, rebounding, and rim protection.
Looking ahead, Texas aims to build momentum for the 2025 class through summer visits, having already hosted several key blue-chip prospects. More official visits are expected before the 2024-25 season begins.
Potential Next Commitments:
- Sebastian Williams-Adams, Forward
- Texas is a top contender for the high-four-star small forward from Houston’s St. John’s School. Williams-Adams, who visited Texas unofficially last fall, is a physical two-way player. Standing 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds, he has expressed interest in returning to Austin this summer or early fall. He is also considering Kansas, Texas A&M, and Baylor.
- Shelton Henderson, Forward
- Henderson, a high-four-star wing from Houston’s Bellaire, stands 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds. Known for his athleticism, Henderson is a versatile offensive player who visited Texas in early January. He plans to take official visits to Louisville, Houston, LSU, and Texas later this summer or early fall, aiming to announce his decision before the Early Signing Period in November.
- Koa Peat, Power Forward
- Koa Peat, an elite five-star recruit from Gilbert, Arizona, is a top priority for Texas. Ranked No. 5 nationally in the 2025 class by 247Sports, Peat included Texas in his top 10 schools. He visited Texas last fall and may return before making his decision this fall. Peat’s commitment could significantly impact Texas’s frontcourt for both the short and long term.
