Find a 3 and D wing and you’re one of early top 5 teams.

Yep. That's it

For anyone wondering if Punch will have a transition or if the SEC will provide something tougher for Punch next year ... I'm not one of those. Big 12 is very high level at the top, and with bigs and skilled 4's. Some of his games... 24 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal vs. Kansas 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals vs. Florida 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals vs. Wisconsin 20 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assists, 5 blocks, 1 steal at Kansas 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals vs Arizona 16 points, 5 assists, 1 block vs. Houston 16 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks in NCAA Tournament vs Ohio State Had some tougher games too, but overall vs. NCAA Tournament teams he averaged: 12.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.0 steals in 13 games

All about finding solid role players that fit what Texas needs at this point. Similar to Sark in football with his offense this upcoming season, Miller will have a lot of weapons, but there’s only so many minutes and one basketball to go around. It’s a good problem to have.

@Gerry Hamilton so last week I asked if you would take Swain and Matas returning whike adding Johnson and Punch. 75% in one weeked is pretty outstanding for Miller and company.

Posted this morning ... NBADraft.net 2027 mock draft Matas 29th in first round David Punch 36th in second round https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/?year-mock=2027 Those two guys will appear on a number of mock's for 2027

Not necessarily Texas is going to have to make a decision on that vs versatile combo forward Not unlimited NIL

Absolutely Texas would start five likely future NBA draft picks

Can we agree that swain returning would be a grand slam roster? Can’t really say expect that but he seems to fit the guard / forward need

punch for lee? plus a player to be named later?

I would say this again … probably need to start leaving the big name guys left in the portal alone. All the names still being thrown around would be a talent collection without the minutes to go round and a 20+ mill team (certainly not happening at Texas) Texas has four starters plus three guys that will factor in different roles already. It’s all fits for rounding out team now … May only be 2-3 guys left now (depending on what Swain ends up doing). those are… 1. guard that is a shot maker/perimeter threat with enough size Likely - big combo forward that can shoot it well enough, and provide some versatility from a lineup perspective probably - backup center That will get Texas to 10. Then you see what happens with Swain first before any other moves

So you’re backing off the need for a backup center

Do you know who is in play as of now? they are not going after him

Not Gerry, but these names stay silent for a few reasons. Hard to bring somebody in and also be talking to somebody else.

Not in play

100% agree

100% agree

Shot maker/perimeter threat with enough size combo forward that can shoot it well enough probably one more role player guard Now it’s about finding fits to build the best team … not collect talent

Three or four.

Bryson Warren?

Gerry can you give us some names left on the board for Texas

How many players are we still looking for
