I tend to like Texas anywhere in that 6, 7, 8 range more too. 

I'm so happy to be in the picture again in hoops. Let's see what happens

All three of these guys said Texas has more NBA talent than any roster in the country. Trotter said if Johnson can be a real point guard, Texas could be like last year's Michigan.

I do think Texas will start 5 NBA draft picks … of course, doesn’t guarantee a FF. So many talented teams 

Thing I like about the roster:

Isaiah Johnson - sophomore

Austin Goosby - freshman 

Elyjah Freeman - junior

David Punch - junior

Matas Vokietaitis- junior

Mikey Lewis - junior

Amari Evans - sophomore 

Bo Ogden - freshman 

John Clark - RS freshman 

Joe Sterling - freshman 

Lewis Obiorha - RS Freshman 

Coleman Elkins - freshman 

Texas “could” return a number of tremendous players in 2027-28

Oh Lordy. Texas at Louisville. A battle of two of the best rosters in the country built thru the portal. An absolute knock down drag out rock fight. Cant wait.

@Gerry HamiltonWhere does Matas have to improve the most to be in the discussion as a late 1st round pick?

Ball screen defense and defense overall 

Add one more piece to his offense

Texas has four 2nd rounders in latest 2027 mock draft ... 34, 37, 42 and 44 ... Goosby not even in yet.

IMO, Texas will end up with 2 first rounders and 3 second rounders on drafts during and after the 2026-27 season
