Texas and Oklahoma State big man Brandon Garrison will not be getting married. 
 

The Longhorns have some other bigs they like more as a fit. 

Perhaps Terry can assemble enough players to get us to 25 in the preseason rankings.  

will the names of other bigs  get out there soon?

Do you think they actually have other bigs they like more or are they just communicating something through you so it sounds like they aren't taking an L. Genuinely curious if that's a strategy they would use.

I can see wanting either a big man with greater offensive range or a big man with better shot blocking, passing, and ft shooting, but I'm very curious who that might be.

Gerry’s been heavy on the “Texas likes others more” recently

Really hope “better fit” doesn’t mean RT is looking for a big that will take a backup role behind Shedrick.

They better get one then. 

 

Time to look at JT Toppin.

He also declared for the draft, so his status will be uncertain for a month, but he's a near perfect combo of length, hops, mobility, rebounding, shot blocking, and offensive range.

NIL wasn't the issue

Need to get in the running for the kid from New Mexico that went to HS in Dallas.

True. Texas needs a role player rebounder and defender.

I would bet they are already in it based off the additions thus far.

Not a fit in terms of NIL demands or as a player?

Fit off the court with the Texas players... but that's just what I was told. I have no personal knowledge of that.

hmmm...not exactly sure what you mean...but maybe you don't want to get into that...

I'll take a wild guess and suggest no Julius Marbles.

@Gerry Hamilton the positive of Garrison going elsewhere, is that I don’t have to chop another hand off.
