Been an exciting spring watching all the talent Texas offers. These are the players in my opinion increased their stock the most.
Seeing him at Sam Houston prospect camp last season put me on notice. Codie is a determined individual who handles business on the hardwood. The versatility he obtains at the forward position is valuable, which is fueled by the mentality he plays with. Most recently picked up an offer from University of Kansas, before them, Houston, Arizona State, Illinois, Miss. State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Cal arrived at the table early. Can operate at all three levels. Soft touch around the rim, and can hit open jumpers. Agile forward that can guard on the perimeter. Have a balance of strength and finesse when scoring the ball.
Edwards took the opportunity to showcase his efficient scoring ability this season. He proved to be ready as the next great athlete from Duncanville. Poise and confident player in his game. The lefty can light the three-point lineup. Edwards understands the spacing concept; getting in the view of the ball handler. Can make plays in transition kicking the ball up the floor quickly. Received an invite to Nike Elite 100 camp, and his most recent offer is from Cal; Texas, Kansas St., Texas State, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, West Virginia, UCF, and Miss. State have offered the 2025 prospect.
You have to find a specific trainer for athleticism, bounce, and explosiveness. Attacks the basket strongly and physically. Nice muscle frame on his body. Special when going downhill/transition plays. Acquired an invitation to Larry Hughes Elite Camp, which is an Iverson classic evaluation and qualifying event for the Iverson Classic. First-year on EYBL ranking in the top 20 in rebounds per game, and eighth in steals per game. He caught more eyes at EYBL session 4, averaging 19.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.5 steals per game which punched his ticket to Pangos All-American camp. Bristow is not even on ESPN rankings list of Texas players. Arizona State along with UC-Riverside have offered the wing.

If you’ve been watching Jackson since fall ball last year you saw this coming. Hollywood is his nickname because of how entertaining his game can be. The young man plays with a chip on his shoulder. Active on both ends of the floor. The length of his arms makes it difficult for the defense to see the floor. Raised his name in Houston this past season, and now the state is noticing Jackson.
Burch made his presence known early with his performance against 1Family trading baskets with 5-star players. Probably the only aspect of the game he loves more than winning is a challenge. His up-and-down style can be too fast for defenders. Contains the mental strength you like in a guard. Consistently stood out at every New Balance event.
Wheatfall put the people on notice all spring long. Improved his isolation scoring ability showcasing the skill to create separation from his defender. His overall IQ has increased becoming more patient offensively. Every time I watch him, Wheatfall seems to get bigger. You can tell he is in the gym by his structure. Played so well that LSU offered him this spring. It’s all coming together for this one.
