Texas signs two ESPN 100 guards

Texas head coach Rick Barnes announced the signing of two ESPN 100 guards on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period.

Eric Davis and Kerwin Roach Jr., both shooting guards ranked 41st and 99th, respectively, will join the Longhorns next season.

"Our entire staff is pleased to welcome both Eric and Kerwin into our program," Barnes told the schools website. "We wanted to add to our overall skill level and playmaking in the backcourt, and we needed to add length and athleticism to our backcourt. We also wanted to improve our perimeter scoring and shooting. And we needed to make sure we found individuals with high character, toughness and confidence. We accomplished all of those with the additions of Eric and Kerwin."

Davis averaged 27 points and five rebounds as a junior at Arthur Hill High, and Roach averaged 16.1 points last season at North Shore High School.
