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 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 eat 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

There are players that wait until that final day to pull out of the draft. Texas will have to go after one of them if it gets that far.

The game is canceled and won't be made up.

That g-league guy isn't one factoring in for real - at this point. See if it changes

Game is cancelled

Not easy handling that type of situation.

Hearing the good guys are leaving the stadium...

do you know who else Texas is looking at in the portal or just outside of that ( g league and international)

I would say ... I bet he improves shooting it from 3 next season in year three. They need him to be at 32-33% ... but Punch will absolutely help Matas maximize because he's a very good passer as a face up 4, and can put the ball on the deck vs. 4's to create rotation. Texas will add another perimeter threat at guard. And Bo Ogden will absolutely provide perimeter threat in his double digit minute role year one.

I'll say this ... Texas really likes where John Clark is headed. 6-9 and strong. Can defend and rebound at the Texas level. Can play some backup 5 at times, but is more of a 4. Has to keep developing offensive game facing basket. Lewis O. is a high-level shot blocker. So Texas thinks he can help in spurts after a summer of development. Legit 7-0.5
