Not sure how much we gave him in NIL this year but it would probably have to be doubled or tripled next year to even get him back haha

Hey man, your overly emotional and reactionary posts have completely nuked this thread. You haven't made a single comment on the topic of the thread, which is the Swiss wing we are recruiting. Not that hard. Please do us all a favor and go start your own looney thread on these oddball topics so that we can all enjoy a cordial hoops discussion on the proper topic at hand. Posting like an overly emotional child on a message board needs to go.

Just wish this team gave us a reason to be excited to come to the arena or watch on TV. Other than the NC State game, rarely see entertaining basketball that excites the fans. Being bad is one thing; being almost unwatchable is a tough sell.

Thanks, Gerry! You provide us with the best Texas hoops insight and info in the market by a country mile!

@Gerry HamiltonQuestion on how this last roster spot went down. Was the money aspect similar for Duru as it would have been for Ben Henshall? So it just came down to Miller preferring another power-forward type player as opposed to another combo guard?

Harrison Wallace though?

I think he would make a fantastic will outside backer personally.

Duncan Powell or Trevon Brazile for that last roster spot potentially @Gerry Hamilton ??

Anyone know which high school he was at in Austin before Oak Hill? Edit: St. Michaels is the answer

Powell and Brazile would help soften the blow of losing Toppin.

Turkish kid has a nice outside jumper and seems pretty skilled for a big. It seems like he would split time evenly with Shedrick rather than be an upgrade sure-fire starter at center.

Gerry do you expect Nic Codie to be ready to roll for the start of the season or do you think he probably won't be healthy until January-ish? I'm hoping that Texas is pursuing another player out of the portal who can play minutes at the 4 behind Jayson Kent.

I like that Miami comparison a lot! I will say, IMO, that I think Jayson Kent needs to be the starting 4-man with how it's looking like the roster will be constructed. Tre Johnson and Tramon Mark are both way too light at 185 pounds to be able to guard most power forwards. Here's my starting lineup with a few hypotheticals: PG: Jordan Pope (Larry will also play some PG mins but will be a do-it-all combo guard as our 6th man) SG: Tre Johnson (No explanation needed; this kid will average 15 a game at minimum.) SF: Tramon Mark (Weaver, Larry, and a bit of Pryor will help at SG and SF off the bench) PF: Jayson Kent (Need another stretch 4 body type to backup Kent, Nic Codie will need time to heal.) Center: Brandon Garrison (Shedrick is a decent backup center, not good enough to start. Onyema is not good enough to play at all.)
