Kerwin Roach, four-star guard, commits to Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns picked up their second recruit for the 2015 class, landing four-star shooting guard Kerwin Roach.

Roach is ranked number 99 in the class by ESPN, the second top-100 recruit Rick Barnes has nabbed for the class. Burnt Orange Nation, Texas’ SB Nation site, described Roach’s game.

"Roach is a player with long arms and excellent leaping ability. The vertical explosiveness translates off the bounce, as the rising prospect has a strong first step that allows him to attack the rim aggressively and effectively.As a shooter, he appears to be be effective from distance, though he doens’t have the developed mid-range game of Davis, his fellow 2015 pledge.Defensively, Roach has a reputation as a stopper because of his length, athleticism, and effort. His ability to successfully translate that skill to college will determine how much he plays early to a larger extent than his offensive ability, especially after current stopper Demarcus Holland leaves."

Roach is one of the more underrated prospects in the class by most regards. He’s an explosive finisher and adept at getting to the rim and finishing over or through contact. He’ll certainly provide fans an exciting prospect for years to come.
