Myck Kabongo, Quinn Cook both commit

On Monday, Myck Kabongo (its pronounced "Mike", not "Mick"), a top ten point guard recruit that hails from Canada and attends Findlay Prep in Nevada, decommitted from Texas.

The breakup didn't last for long. Late Wednesday night, Kabongo texted recruiting guru Dave Telep to let him know that he had, in fact, recommitted to the Longhorns.

"I took a quick step and I evaluated everything and quickly realized that Texas is best for me," Kabongo said in a text message to ESPN.com. "For all the reasons I've stated before in the past, there's no way I can build a relationship with [another] coach in a year like I have with Coach [Rick] Barnes and the staff at Texas and I don't want to waste the other coaches or individuals associated with the schools time knowing this."

"I was just looking to make sure I was making the right decision. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong method," he said in a text message. "Looking back I didn't deal with it properly but it's something I can learn from as a person," he said in the text. "So, there's no point for me to go through the process again just to do it. ... There's no need to waste their time and energy and that would be unfair to them. Yet again, I don't want people to think I did this as something to get attention. I jumped the gun on how I was feeling and I'm truly sorry to everyone involved from fans to coaches and programs."
