Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR
Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR It's two years away, but Texas currently only has four-star linebacker Taven Epps committed for the 2027 cycle. Over the weekend, plenty of elite talent from that cycle attended the Longhorns' Elite Camp, and four-star wide receiver prospect Alvin Mosley was one of them. Mosley came into the weekend with 16 offers with programs such as Florida State, TCU, SMU, and Arkansas already making bids. That number is now 17 as Texas extended an offer to the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder. It was a productive sophomore campaign for Mosley. He produced 52 receptions for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns. Because of that, 247Sports composite rankings have Mosley as the No. 223 player nationally and the nation's No. 29 wide receiver. They also have him ranked as the No. 32 prospect in the state of Texas. Mosley has mentioned that TCU, Houston, and SMU have caught his eye. However, he came into his visit with Texas hoping to leave with an offer. "I mean, it sounds great. They could develop me to be an NFL receiver so of course I'd like it," said Mosley via Horns247. The Longhorns need to strike while the iron is hot and set up another visit with Mosley quickly.

Texas offers 2027 WR committed to Houston
Texas offers 2027 WR committed to Houston The Texas Longhorns hosted a plethora of top recruits around the country for their Elite Camp over the weekend. One of them was three-star Aden Starling who attends Shadow Creek High School in Pearland, Texas. Since last October, Starling has been committed to the Houston Cougars. However, in today's landscape of college football, the recruiting game never ends until a recruit signs. Having said that, Texas extended an offer to Starling before he left Austin. Starling is the No. 440 overall recruit in the country and the No. 58 wide receiver per 247Sports composite rankings. They also have the 6-foot, 175-pounder as the No. 54 player out of Texas. The word on Starling is that he's a polished route runner who has great get-off on the line of scrimmage. That was certainly the case during the Elite 11 Austin Regional in March where Starling was named one of the top performers. It would behoove the Longhorns to get Starling back on campus soon if they want to flip his commitment.

Elite 2027 QB to attend Texas Elite Camp
Elite 2027 QB to attend Texas Elite Camp The Texas Longhorns are hosting an Elite Camp in Austin on Sunday. One of the top signal callers in the nation will be in attendance per Horns247. The individual is four-star quarterback Gunner Rivers, a 2027 prospect, who is the son of former NFL quarterback Phillip Rivers. Rivers is one of the highest-rated prospects in the country. 247Sports has him as the No. 24 recruit nationally and the No. 2 quarterback in the country. The 6-foot-3.5, 205-pounder is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Alabama as well. The SEC and ACC make up the five offers that Rivers has on the table at the moment. They include Auburn, Boston College, Miami, South Carolina, and NC State, which is where his father went to school. Over the past two seasons, Rivers has put up some gaudy numbers for St. Michael Catholic High School. He threw for 3,077 yards and 29 touchdowns with just four interceptions as a freshman in 2023. He was even more productive in his sophomore campaign with 3,947 yards and 36 scores to just six interceptions. Rivers also ran for two touchdowns in both seasons. Rivers won't be the only quarterback that Texas will evaluate on Sunday. Four-star prospects Colton Nussmeier, Houston and Malachi Zeigler will be on campus as well as three-star recruit Jerry Meyer. It's pretty safe to say that if Rivers impresses the Longhorns then an offer will soon follow.

Ryan Nembhard Invited to NBA Draft Combine After Strong Performance at G League Elite Camp
After an incredibly strong performance at the G League Elite Camp this weekend, former Gonzaga guard Ryan Nembhard received an invitation to the NBA Draft Combine on Sunday. Every year a select few from the Elite Camp are invited to join the list of 75 players at the combine, which is taking place in Chicago from May 11 through May 18. This year, Nembhard will be moving up alongside Missouri's Tamar Bates, Indiana's Mackenzie Mgbako, Penn State's Yanic Konan Niederhauser, and Lachlan Olbrich from Australia. Advertisement Nembhard's performance in two scrimmage games and strong outside shooting during drills led to his invitation, giving him a chance to compete against the best of the best in attempt to play his way onto NBA draft boards before selections are made on June 25-26. Nembhard dropped six points on 3-7 shooting with a game-high nine assists and just one turnover in his first scrimmage on Saturday, a game his team won 101-63. As if those gaudy assist numbers weren't flashy enough, Nembhard hit a game-winning three in Sunday's scrimmage, finishing with 11 points and six assists in another victory. He sealed an invite with his performance in the shooting drills, knocking down 24 of 30 shots off the dribble (80%) and going 19/25 (76%) from beyond the arc. Advertisement Now the 6'0 point guard will get a chance to strut his stuff against the top point guards in this draft class, including Dylan Harper (Rutgers), Jeremiah Fears (Oklahoma), Egor Demin (BYU), and Nolan Traore (France). Nembhard is the lone Zag and second WCC star invited to the combine, joining Washington State's Cedric Coward, who has committed to Duke in the transfer portal if he opts to return to school. Nembhard's brother, Andrew, was not considered a likely NBA draft pick heading into the pre-draft process in 2022, but he was ultimately selected 31st overall and has far outpaced his draft spot, becoming a crucial piece of Indiana's roster and leading them to another deep run in the NBA playoffs. Ryan led the country with 344 assists this past season - the fifth highest total in college basketball history and highest since Kendall Marshall recorded 351 in 2011-12 with North Carolina. Advertisement Gonzaga has had at least one player chosen in each of the last four NBA drafts: Anton Watson in 2024, Julian Strawther in 2023, Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard in 2022, and Jalen Suggs, Corey Kispert, and Filip Petrusev in 2021.

Sharpshooter and Gonzaga Target Duke Miles Announces Transfer Portal Decision
The Gonzaga Bulldogs saw a trio of transfer portal targets commit elsewhere over the weekend, putting more pressure on coach Mark Few and his staff to add to this roster ahead of the 2025-26 college basketball season. First it was San Francisco's Malik Thomas, the WCC's leading scorer, committing to Virginia as many expected. Then it was 6'7 Rice wing Jacob Dar landing at Seton Hall, and finally Oklahoma guard Duke Miles committed to Vanderbilt on Sunday evening according to a report from Tobias Bass of The Athletic. Advertisement Miles has already had a very busy offseason, first committing then decommitting to Virginia before landing at Texas A&M with new coach Bucky McMillan. After the Aggies brought in Kansas transfer Rylan Griffen, Miles once again re-entered the portal and now finds his home at a different SEC school under coach Mark Byington. The 6'2 guard from Montgomery, Alabama has already played at three different programs, beginning his college hoops career at Troy in the Sun Belt. He spent three seasons with the Trojans but injuries limited him to just 17 games as a sophomore and six as a junior. He ultimately transferred after averaging 9.2 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.8 steals in 49 games at Troy, landing at High Point in the Big South for the 2023-24 campaign. Miles fully broke out with the Panthers, averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 60.1% on two pointers, 80.1% from the free throw line, and 36.1% from three. Advertisement That landed him at Oklahoma, where he started all 34 games and averaged 9.4 points, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting a career-best 43% from three and 83.1% from the charity stripe in 2024-25. With Thomas, Miles, and Dar all out of the picture, Gonzaga will continue to look for guard additions to compete alongside Braeden Smith, Jalen Warley, Emmanuel Innocenti, Steele Venters, and newcomer Adam Miller in a new-look backcourt following the departures of Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, Khalif Battle, and Dusty Stromer. USC transfer Desmond Claude is the most notable target on Gonzaga's radar, while Grand Canyon's Tyon Grant-Foster, New Hampshire's Sami Pissis, and North Carolina wing Cade Tyson are names to keep an eye on as well.
