Four-star prospect Courtney Ramey has committed to Texas. He chose the Longhorns over Oklahoma State, Missouri and Louisville. Ramey was a one-time Louisville commit, but when the FBI news broke last fall and Rick Pitino was let go he re-opened his recruitment.

Why he committed: Ramey made a visit to Texas back in December for the Kansas game and loved it. After that visit head coach Shaka Smart made him a priority, which paid off.

"I got a chance to see Coach Smart coach in the game and run practice and it was great," Ramey told ESPN.com. "The atmosphere for the game was exciting. He is a point-guard-focused coach and he has stayed in constant contact with me."

What he brings: Ramey is not fancy by nature, but he gets results. A two-time state champion at Webster Groves (Missouri) High School, head coach Jay Blossom raves about his potential impact at Texas.

"Courtney is the complete package," he told ESPN.com. "He plays with a high basketball IQ, combined with a tenacious competitive spirit. He is terrific at running a team and making others better."

Ramey is a committed defender and a point guard who rebounds down from the perimeter on defense. He will push the pace after a defensive board and will score when needed by way of his jumper or drive game. The bottom line here is that Ramey is a two-way player who brings leadership by his words and example. He will impact the Longhorns on the perimeter and provide a two-headed attack at the point guard spot.

How he fits: Texas has struggled on offense over the past few years for a variety of reasons. Mo Bamba is gone to the NBA, Eric Davis won't be back and Jacob Young transferred to Rutgers. The team's leading scorer, Andrew Jones, had to step away from the game to battle cancer. Reports from Austin are that Jase Febres is having a good spring and will be ready to contribute. The wild card is Kerwin Roach, who is testing the waters of the NBA draft.

Last season when point guard Matt Coleman was out, the offense went through Dylan Osetkowski. Now Coleman and Ramey can play off each other, and Ramey can be the leader of the offense when Coleman is out. If Roach returns the perimeter will be very strong with quality and quantity. Osetkowski can concentrate on scoring and rebounding while still being a strong facilitator. Don't forget Jericho Sims, who is primed to make big improvements in his sophomore year. This will be the first time that Smart will have two true point guards on his roster at the same time. It will enhance the team's efficiency on the offensive end.

Who he reminds us of: Ramey has a similar game to former Texas Longhorn Isaiah Taylor. Both are great in the open floor and speedy with the ball. Both are shotmakers but not pure shooters, yet can really put pressure on the defense and make the assist. Both are playmakers who can break off a play and get their own when needed. Ramey is a better passer at the same stage.

How the class is shaping up: Last year Texas had the No. 6 ranked recruiting class and it currently sits at No. 13 in 2018. That number will certainly jump with the addition of Ramey. As far as high school prospects go, the Longhorns appear to be finished. However, when it comes to transfers and the uncertainly of Roach, that door will stay open. Smart and staff can focus on the class of 2019.
