Texas Basketball Signs Two Players as Goosby Decision Looms

UPDATE: Texas basketball has made significant strides in its 2026 recruiting class by signing two talented players, Bo Ogden and Joe Sterling, in the past two days. This follows a crucial decision pending from five-star recruit Austin Goosby, who has postponed his commitment announcement until Monday.

The Longhorns secured Bo Ogden, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Westlake High School in Austin, on Wednesday. Ogden transferred from St. Michael’s for his senior year and is ranked as the No. 34 prospect in the nation by Rivals. He gained attention last season for his dramatic buzzer-beater in the TAPPS Class 6A boys state championship, showcasing his clutch performance under pressure.

On Thursday, Texas added Joe Sterling, a 6-foot-4 combo guard from Los Angeles. Ranked as the No. 12 combo guard nationally, Sterling has made a name for himself as a sharpshooter, hitting 44% of his three-point attempts in his recent club season, according to 247Sports.

The spotlight now turns to Austin Goosby, a highly sought-after 6-foot-5 senior from Melissa High School, just north of Dallas. Originally set to announce his decision on Friday, Goosby has pushed back the date to Monday. He is considering Texas, BYU, Baylor, and Duke as potential destinations. If he chooses Texas, he would join his older brother, Trevor Goosby, who plays as the starting left tackle for the Texas football team, adding a personal connection to his decision.

Goosby is rated as the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2026 class by 247Sports and is widely regarded as one of the top two-way wings in the nation. His potential addition to the Longhorns would significantly enhance the team’s athletic department and reflect head coach Sean Miller‘s commitment to building a competitive roster.

As the clock ticks down to Goosby’s new announcement date, Texas basketball fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this crucial recruitment. With Ogden and Sterling already on board, the Longhorns are making bold moves in the competitive world of college basketball.

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and watch for Goosby’s decision on Monday, which could reshape Texas basketball’s future.
