Texas women's basketball portal thread

The good news here is that men's basketball should regain the spotlight in Austin next season.

All fair points, however, there just comes a point that we have to move on. I am among the biggest fans of Longhorn women's hoops on here and was perplexed when the three entered the portal. But after a few days of doing my research, and a confidante within the program's analysis,  I just figured it was time to focus on the positive. What are those? An amazing coaching staff, a head coach who wins, 5 incredible incoming recruits, and a rabid, loyal fan base. I am looking forward to next year. However,  there still might be a surprise recruit or two knocking on our door. 

Recruit(s)? So more freshmen?!?

Texas needs more 1-2 portal players with experience, not more freshmen. This team is already too young.

I was frustrated too when the departures happened, but it’s really not doom‑and‑gloom. The portal deadline just means players had to enter by that date - they can still choose schools now. There are still plenty of proven players available, and Texas is an attractive landing spot with Booker, a top recruiting class, and a staff that wins.

Would I prefer experienced portal players over more freshmen? Absolutely. And that’s exactly what the staff should be targeting. It’s not too late, and it’s not a failure - it’s just the new reality of roster building.

I’m confident Texas will add the right pieces.

Tennessee is back in it for Oliviyah Edwards. Her camp is looking for $500,000. I expect her to go to the highest bidder.

Given that WCBB loses money, how can teams be stupid enough to pay 500k for a player? Who makes these decisions?

She’s committing to South Carolina. So, ya, everyone is getting better but Texas.

Not portal but Oliviyah Edwards to SC
