BYU Basketball Completes In-Home Visit with 5-Star Guard Austin Goosby
The college basketball recruiting calendar flipped on 9/3 to resume all in-person recruiting, and coaches around the country were flying to meet various recruits.
BYU’s staff got on a private jet and paid a visit Wednesday night to 5-Star guard Austin Goosby, sources tell me. Kevin Young and assistants Chris Burgess, Brandon Dunson, and John Linehan also visited with Austin in his Texas home. Not anything groundbreaking, but one source told me the visit went great (I’d be concerned if it didn’t).
Austin is right in the middle of his official visit schedule and BYU is among the top schools. Austin took a visit to Duke last weekend and visits Texas this coming weekend. Austin took an unofficial visit to BYU this summer, and the trip put BYU squarely in the mix as one of his top schools. Austin is the top-rated LDS player in the class and has family that lives in Utah and attends BYU. Texas and Duke are also viewed as top contenders. The Blue Devils have the obvious prestige and have made Austin a bigger priority, and Austin has lots of family ties to Texas. His older brother, Michael, is a starting OL for the Longhorns and the family is Texas fans.
