NBA looking like they love him more now than ever 

Guys are still young players, and developing 

i can see why.  He has been skyrocketing and standing out, especially since SEC play started.  IT doesn't always look pretty from him but the results are what matter most.

    First time he's appeared as high as first pick in the second round

    He keeps starting to make perimeter shots, and playing at near this level the remainder of the SEC schedule ... he will appear in late 1sdt/ear;ly 2nd round mocks by many. 

     

    Agreed.  I hope we can keep him next year, but it might be tough if he keeps playing this way.

    He’s gone if that three keeps dropping. Would be nice if Texas could get some wins off his performance. 
     

    Even if he came back, the NIL offers would be huge.

    too soon to say ... because he's playing at a much higher level than anticpated - as much as Miller loved him before this season. 

    We need him back.  We’ve endured the early growing pains and now he’s flourishing similar.  Would hate to lose him after the light switch turned on, which is similar to Arch.

    This is not good for us for next season. Really want him back with volk and incoming freshman and a couple transfers.

    Infuriating to waste two top tier NBA draft prospects two years in a row playing on mid teams. 

    Could be worse.  Rutgers signed two of the top three recruits in the 2024 class, probably paying several million $.  They played well enough to go # 2 and # 5 in the 2025 draft but Rutgers had a losing record and didn't make the tournament.  Talk about a waste of talent ...

    It’s who we are. He could come back and Duke could offer him everything Texas won’t offer. Then we get to watch him play for another team! Only at Texas.

    If he leaves for a year, he can always come back. Thanks NCAA
