Liddell chose the Longhorns over the likes of Duke, Kansas, Oklahoma State, and Baylor.
"It just feels like home out there in Austin," Liddell told Scout.com's Evan Daniels. "It’s 45 minutes away from my house. My whole family can come and enjoy seeing me play. That was ultimately a big deciding factor. ...
"Also the coaching staff up there, Shaka (Smart) and his staff, really get after it for his players. He goes to war for his players, just like we are supposed to go to war for him."
The 6-foot-7 prospect was ranked 30th on ESPN's Top 100 list for the 2018 class.
