The Texas Longhorns men’s basketball team will enter the SEC next season with a solid 2024 recruiting class, but
there will be some injury concerns to address during the offseason.
Nic Codie, a Texas 2024 four-star signee, had a knee injury that forced him to miss the rest of his high school season,
according to Greg Riddle of The Dallas Morning News. According to Riddle’s assessment, the timing for any
potential injuries is yet uncertain.
This season, the Newman Smith (Carrollton, TX) star has averaging 14.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
However, without Codie on the court, Newman Smith fell in the first round of the playoffs on Tuesday.
Depending on the severity of the injury, Codie may miss the start of offseason exercises once he arrives to the Forty
Acres, though further information will be required to determine for certain.
Guards Tre Johnson (Dallas) and Cam Scott (Lexington, S.C.) will join Codie as headliners for a 2024 recruiting class
that is presently ranked ninth overall in 247Sports’ 2024 team recruitment rankings.
Codie paid an unofficial visit to the Forty Acres in June before his formal visit to Austin on September 15.
According to 247 Sports’ composite rankings, the 6-9, 200-pound Codie is the No. 10 power forward in the country
and the No. 1 overall in Texas. He was receiving offers from other top institutions such as Miami, Kansas, Texas
Tech, Auburn, Houston, LSU, Alabama, and others.
