With two commitments now in the fold, the Longhorns are slowly moving up the rankings.

After the pledge of four-star forward Gerald Liddell, Texas moved to a top 15 class in the 247Sports Composite team recruiting rankings, actually sitting right at No. 15. The Longhorns also now hold the No. 1 class in the Big 12.

Shaka Smart and Texas have both Liddell and four-star small forward Brock Cunningham in their 2018 class, which holds 47.03 points and is just about three points from a top 10 ranking. The Longhorns were at No. 40 with just one commit in the class earlier this week.

Depending on attrition after next season, Texas will most likely have a few more scholarships to give, meaning the class will only get better for the Longhorns in the coming months.
