Texas Hoops: One more big; international prospects in play Sean Miller and staff have three more spots to fill on the 2025-26 roster. As it stands now, the Texas roster has already appeared in some way too early top 25 rankings. But the work is far from done. Texas will add one more big, and the Horns lead big for 6-10 rebounder and defender Lassina Traore. Miller will also add one more combo guard to the squad, with the requirements being ball handler and perimeter threat with enough size (likely 6-3/6-4). More on that below. Miller has addressed the needed height and length in the program. The current Texas roster now features five players that stand 6…

Ezavier Crowell announcement thread OTF 4-star++ running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High) is set to announce his commitment at around 6pm CST today. This one is expected to be Alabama or Texas, with Auburn and Georgia rounding out the four in contention. Steve Sarkisian is personally in this recruitment, and Texas is giving it everything they have. If Crowell picks Alabama, it will be besting a completely all in effort by the Longhorns. Alabama has been considered the favorite since the spring. CJ provided a great rundown of the timeline yesterday: Schools in Contention for the four-star running back include: Georgia (May 30 O…

Felix Ojo told coaches from multiple teams yesterday that he was down to Texas and Ohio State, all while already having a deal done with Texas Tech. There’s ways to go about things in life. Deceit isn’t one of them, no matter your age or the circumstances. IMO Texas dodged a bullet with Felix Ojo. Good luck in Lubbock. We’ll be focused on the Livestream this afternoon that starts at 1:45 and carrying John Turntine’s announcement at roughly 2:15 View full news story

Notes: - Yale OL Mike Bennett has concluded his visit. He is expected to visit Oregon and Indiana. Texas is very interested. - LB Rasheem Biles and RB Hollywood Smothers remain on their trips to Austin. - DB Edwin Joseph, who visited Texas earlier this week, has committed to Ole Miss.

There has still been no resolution between Texas and at least one of its current players. Our understanding is that the player has filled out the paperwork to go into the portal, but has not been populated into the portal yet. Texas apparently has until Wednesday to do so, which is two business days from Friday (Monday is MLK day, so it is not considered a business day). ** Texas is still open to players who enter the portal officially next week. There are a couple of defensive players of note: Missouri's Damon Wilson and Ole Miss' Princewill Umanmeilen, both of whom specialize in rushing the passer. Umanmeilen is still discussing a return to Ole Miss,…

I have to hand it to Texas, they’ve kept a tight lid on the coaching situation and it’s been tough to get concrete info. However, I’ve checked with some sources and here’s what I’m hearing: - I haven’t spoken to anyone who believes David Pierce will be the head coach of Texas next year. Not a single person. - Texas has done due diligence on a lot of coaches. A LOT. Including some names that really surprised me. There’s been a lot of people express interest in the job, and rightfully so as it’s one of the best in the nation. - Multiple people thought an announcement regarding Pierce would have been made late last week. Obviously that never happened. Not sur…

I spent a lot of Friday tracking down some of the specifics that went into the surprising decision from Texas running back Tre Wisner to enter the portal the day after Christmas. While I had been consistent throughout the month in my reporting of Wisner's impending decision, do not get me wrong, the choice was a surprise. And it was upsetting to a degree. A former three-star recruit who earned a spot on the field through determination and opportunity, Wisner never looked back in the 2024 when he rushed for 1000+ yards and etched his name into Longhorn Lore with performances against Texas A&M and Oklahoma. I could go on about Wisner, but ultimately the …
