Texas offers 5-star 2023 guard Caleb Foster
The Texas Longhorns became the 11th program to offer 4+-star point guard Caleb Foster when they made the overture on Aug. 29. This offer from the Longhorns is interesting, considering that the Concord (N.C) native had previously cut his list down to Auburn, Charlotte, Clemson, Duke, Louisville, Stanford, Wake Forest, and Virginia. So it is really hard the see where Texas stands at this point.
Foster is ranked as the 12th best prospect in the nation by 247Sports Composite and No. 19 by 247Sports. Meanwhile, ESPN has the 6-5 point guard rated 12th, and Rivals has him at No. 11.
Here is a scouting report from Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports.
"“Foster is a tough and smart point guard with terrific size for the position. He has a mature floor game which is shown in his court demeanor and savvy. He plays with excellent poise and pace and makes sound decisions with the basketball. He has all the tools needed to run a team. Foster is not explosive off the bounce by any means, but he owns a solid skillset in how he can get where he needs to on the floor and can score from all three levels. He makes open threes and pull-up jumpers alike. His release on his jumper is a tad slow but he knocks down the open long-range jumper with regularity when his feet are set. He additionally has a good acumen for the other side of the ball as he utilizes his frame and plays angles to guard the basketball.”"
