Texas got another boost on Monday as former five-star recruit Andrew Jones announced that he will be returning to school for his sophomore season.
“I’ve matured and learned a lot through this process,” Jones said in a statement released on twitter. “I enjoyed the experience and opportunity that I had to be able to participate in the combine and team workouts.
“Time to go work out with my teammates. Hungry and Humble.”
This comes on the heels of Texas landing a commitment from a top five prospect in Mo Bamba. With all those pieces in the fold, including a recruiting class that features four more top 100 prospects, the Longhorns look like they are on track to be a borderline preseason top 25 team and heading back to the NCAA tournament.
This could end up being a narrative-changing year for Texas.
