Texas really likes Rytis guys … tough kid with very good offensive hoops IQ 

I like the idea of Pope, Larry, Mark, Johnson, Kent, and Rytis playing a lot of small ball lineups.

Two key targets remain at the top of the board right now ...

Brandon Garrison, C, Oklahoma City (Ok.) Del City - *Oklahoma State transfer

Garrison is scheduled to visit Arkansas this weekend. Not the news Texas, OU and OkState were hoping to hear last weekend. 

Garrison played in 32 games as a true freshman in 2023-24, including 29 starts. He averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in his first season. He connected on 57.2% from the field and 64.8% from the foul line. 

Note: If Garrison were to choose Oklahoma or stay at Oklahoma State, it would be due to a family closeness requirement. 

 

Rytis Petraitis, F, Arlington (Texas) Oak Ridge - *Air Force transfer

The 6-7, 210 pound offensively skilled forward is likely to decide between Texas and California. 

Petraitis took a big step up in 2023-24 for Air Force averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 48.5% from the field, 34.9% from three (22 makes) and 65.8% from the free throw line. He averaged 12.6 points with 708 points scored in 56 games (36 starts) in two seasons. 

backcourt and wing are fine but we need another Center/PF. Garrison can play C but Rytis is a 4. We would still need a 5. Shedrick cant likely play more than 25 mins/game. If not Garrison, who?
