Texas basketball added two pieces to its 2026 recruiting class over the past two days with Wednesday’s signing of Bo Ogden from Austin’s Westlake High School and Thursday’s signing of Joe Sterling from Los Angeles.
Now, head coach Sean Miller and his staff can only wait on the decision by five-star wing Austin Goosby.
Goosby, a 6-foot-5 senior at Melissa High School north of Dallas, originally had set a Friday deadline to make his decision between Texas, BYU, Baylor and Duke. However, this week he postponed his pledge until Monday.
If Goosby picks Texas, he will join an athletic department that already includes his older brother, Trevor Goosby, the starting left tackle for the Texas football team.
Ogden, who transferred from St. Michael’s to Westlake for his senior season, is the son of Texas basketball general manager Chris Ogden, himself a former Longhorn. The 6-6 small forward is ranked as the No. 34 overall prospect in the nation by Rivals and may be best remembered for banking in a 10-foot jumper at the buzzer to give St. Michael’s a 50-48 victory over Dallas Parish Episcopal in the TAPPS Class 6A boys state championship game last season.
The 6-4 Sterling, who’s ranked as the No. 12 combo guard in the nation, has earned his reputation as one of the top long-distance shooters in youth basketball after connecting on 44% of his 3-point shots in his most recent club season, according to 247Sports.
But Goosby is the real prize. He’s the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2026 class per 247Sports’ rankings and has drawn praise as one of the top two-way wings in the nation.
