Texas finished top 3 out of HS here... I like as a rugged rim protector

Pretty good PF here with athleticism and enough face-up game

6-5 shooter with three-point ability at 40%

Gerry, are any of these guys legitimate targets? Or are they being more conservative early and waiting till this time next week when there will be much more? @Gerry Hamilton

Peja Jr. entered the portal yesterday. Texas finished 2nd to Stanford the 1st time around.

Texas is so NCAA Tournament focused right now ... any player that seeks a quick decision won't be in play. They will truly dive in after the season concludes... but Texas is getting a lot of calls. That I can say. 

How about Peja's son @Gerry Hamilton?

Didn’t have the expected freshman season … will be interesting if he stays on west coast and goes to UCLA or St Mary’s

Would really like this one, the type of player we need from the portal for next year IMO

Edited March 22, 20242 yr by Jackson Conner

@Gerry Hamilton how strong is Texas NIL wise in hoops? Can they compete NIL wise with the upper portal guys?

I ask because Texas has the other stuff to sell. Success, arena,  coach/staff in place zero hot seat etc.

Currently, Brandon Garrison is the No. 1 target big

Compete, yes. Enough to take out the basketball decision totally, nope.

Would Texas continue to pursue Chomche if they were to land Garrison out of the portal?

You’re the best around man. What else can I do? Oh I did say I would chop my other hand off if Liam came. I think I am safe on that one. Soon as I saw your portal thread it was a no brainer. I see some Terry haters here. God almighty they need a point guard. Hunter fell of a cliff against Tennessee.

Yeah, I don't see Liam 

Portal ... PG, wing shooter and two bigs is what Texas is going to be after 

Yeah, Hunter just went in the tank. Wildly inconsistent season.

Will you let us know when those guys enter that they are a legit target
