I'm not going to tell the story of how it went down ... NIL and portal are a wild ride ... it's a wow!

When you say "Texas decision", what does that look like exactly? I would imagine you take Heide back for free as a role player on the bench. Would they have wanted a significant NIL pay cut from last year? Tell him someone else was gonna have the majority of his minutes? It's hard to follow the NIL world when everything is so opaque.

Wild ride for sure

College sports suck so bad lol

NIL and portal is a crazy world!

Let me add this ... This was a Texas decision apparently. They have to feel good about a role player out of portal within the last 18 hours

😅

@Gerry Hamilton is a liar confirmed lol

Not a new offer (he already has one) but a visitor today:

He might want a bigger role and/or a bigger NIL deal than we could afford. He would have been a nice role player to have back, but I'm not that too surprised by this. His playing time was cut down toward the end of the year. I will always remember the big shot he made to beat Gonzaga. I hope he lands in a great spot with plenty of playing time in his senior year.

Welp, sorry to lose him, but don’t let the door hit you in the Heide. Sorry, couldn’t help it .

Damn I actually wanted to see him come back. I know he wasn't perfect but thought there was some room for growth next year.

They continue to do stuff like this and then get butthurt when people rightfully clown them. It's wild to see a group of people over generations with no self awareness. They know they have so few accomplishments in over 100 years, that they have to celebrate just participating in something. Pathetic group of people. (I wanna send this to my Aggie friend, but I know he'll be overly defensive about it)

Oh no. Not Cam Heide!

Texas forward Camden Heide is the program's first unexpected departure to the NCAA transfer portal. Jonathan Giovny of Draft Express first reported Heide's intent to enter the portal on Thursday. On Texas Football expected Heide to be a part of Sean Miller's club for the 2026-27 season, which will be Heide's last in college basketball after playing two seasons at Purdue before joining the Longhorns for the 2025-26 campaign. After playing in 75 career games for the Boilermakers, Heide saw action in 35 games for Texas. As a Longhorn, Heide set career-high marks for games started (29), scoring (5.9 points per game), assists (23), steals (15), 3-pointers made (49) and 3-point percentage (45.4). Heide made one of the most memorable plays of the season, hitting a 3-pointer from the corner with 14.7 seconds left in regulation to help Texas secure a 74-68 NCAA Tournament win over Gonzaga. The Longhorns finished the season in the Sweet 16, dropping a 79-77 decision to Purdue, with Heide scoring three points and grabbing five rebounds in 24 minutes. With Heide gone and Nic Codie both entering the transfer portal, Matas Vokietaitis is the only experienced frontcourt player returning to Texas for Miller's second season. John Clark and Lewis Obiorah are expected to return after both big men redshirted this past season. Before Heide's departure was known, sources told OTF that the power forward position is one the Longhorns were looking to upgrade with a transfer portal acquisition. View full news story

I think it's a lot of low key jealousy and clicks type situation, in a lot of places. This is also the NIL era, and girls have the same motivations as the guys, in regards to, earning potential and minutes. Vic signed a helluva class and I guarantee you these ladies were looking over their shoulders a bit. Maybe some girls felt Maddy got too much of the shine and not enough of the blame until she had the bad game...maybe the exit meetings didn't go so well, who knows. What I do know is.... this responsibility, representing the University of Texas, will not be bestowed upon the weak or timid. 🤘🏿🔥✊🏿

Jordan Lee is still posting Texas stuff on her IG account. I hope she changes her mind.

I’m with you on Dani Carnegie and Zya Vann; Those are the types Vic loves because they give you both ends. Athletic, switchable, and still bring real scoring juice, which is what Texas lost more than anything. That’s why the guard piece still feels like the swing factor to me. Replacing what Rori Harmon did structurally is the hardest part of this whole thing. The reason the Cody/Dauda split keeps coming up for me is because it fits reality. It patches the biggest losses without asking one player to do everything.

Not sure on all that yet. Think that will be the big step on a future visit

After Millers first season at Texas...making a run in the post season with little depth, what should year 2 recruiting look like? There are still a lot of holes to plug here so the canoe dont sink. Ill reserve any judgement until this team is built.

Punch can ball... just needs to hut thr weights. His pace and effort and shooting ability would complement Matais and also wouldn't leave Matais and the only inside presence on defense or the offensive/defensive boards. I like it, if it happens. @Gerry Hamilton... any thoughts on the fit? Does he work with Coach Miller and more importantly, does he fit with Matais, in your opinion?
