2 of Vic’s 3-player signing class will take the court at the Toyota Center in Houston, both playing for the West squad. I’m hoping Vic won’t be able to attend because he’s preparing for a Final 4 game.
Here are the scouting reports for the future Longhorns:
F Justice Carlton, Seven Lakes (Texas)
Signed with: Texas | 2024 ESPNW Ranking: 7
Carlton is a strong, smooth, and skilled forward. She can battle inside on the glass or put the ball on the floor in the face up game and from the top of the key. She is particularly good in transition -- running the floor or with the ball in her hands while attacking or facilitating. She stretches the floor out beyond the 3-point line as well. Defensively, she is agile and reads the floor well, which helps her get numerous tips and steals on top of stacking rebounds. She will bring physicality and skill to the Texas program.
G Jordan Lee, St. Mary's (California)
Signed with: Texas | 2024 ESPNW 100 Ranking: 8
Lee is another all-around competitive perimeter player in the class. Known to be a defensive stopper and a power guard early in her high school career, she added some advancements to her handle and consistency to her 3-point shot with an already smooth pull-up jumper. Lee has a strong base and frame and finishes well at the rim. Defensively she can handle any perimeter assignment. Texas is a defense-first team that excels in turning pressure into points and Lee will fit in very well in Austin for Vic Schaefer.
A name to keep an eye on is Imari Berry. Clemson recently fired their coach and she is now looking elsewhere. I don’t know that Texas would be on her list, just a point of interest.
G Imari Berry, Clarksville (Tennessee)
Signed with: Clemson | 2024 ESPNW Ranking: 13
Berry is a talented scorer and can put up points in a flurry. She is a long guard with a smooth handle and a knack for creating space with her footwork and one-on-one moves. She glides to the rim to finish or dump off passes as she attracts help often. Over the course of the last year, her game has matured in reading screens with her patience on off-ball screens and in pick-and-roll play. She also decided to further commit to the defensive end -- she uses her length to pester ball handlers, gets in passing lanes and has increased energy while in help defense and on the defensive glass.
