I’ll admit. I watch the Texas women play but not other women’s teams. I know who crooks is and I’ve heard of the other 2 but how good are they? 

Crooks is a tank but I’m not sure she would survive a 10 min quarter playing D for this team. She is a load in the paint but they would have to change the D strategy.

Gotta head north to find Lee’s likely replacement (not too far north though)

Addison Bjorn likely takes that spot. She's a gunner.

Notre Dame is a great fit for her.

Lee’s replacement will be the portal visitor on campus. Bjorn will get a ton of minutes off the bench next season and then start at the 3 after Book graduates.

Bjorn is a SF.  That spot is reserved for a portal SG.

To put things in perspective, he could have easily prioritized the portal and getting replacement players for the ones leaving; but he chose to focus on the human and being there for a player.  Admittedly, I've been refreshing trying to see what info there is on incoming transfers, but this makes sense why there hasn't been much news.  While I want Texas to field the best possible teams and always win it all, Vic's actions show that there are things more important than sports.

Also, prayers for Grace Prenter's family, it's very difficult to lose a loved one, especially a parent.

My father died 38 years ago and it might as well have been last year. He was 62 and cancer claimed him quickly. He never went to college but he was a big Longhorns fan and he took me to several Texas games when I was a kid and at one point we attended 30 Texas -OU games together.

I graduated from UT with Bachelor's and Master's degrees and those were special days for thfoe two of us. Our family had a tile placed on the plaza at the Ex Students Association facing up towards the West side of DKR in appreciation for him.

I am so sorry for Grace Prenter and send her thoughts and prayers. She will always have the memory of her father and the memory of Coach Vic's exceptional gesture. The Eyes of Texas...
