Texas beat Kentucky straight up on this one. 

Love this pickup ... will be a two year 7-footer for the Horns

That’s another guy with multiple years of eligibility - Beard did something similar.

Miller looking to build for the future.

So we are still looking for the true PG and then a backup big?

[Jordan91]

Awesome pickup. Needed a center. 

[CJ Vogel]

Averaged 15.5 and 7.2 over his final six games of the season, including two AAC games and an NIT game.

Three ships remaining ...

1. One more big (Texas leads for Lassina Traore)

2. Guard shooter with size 

3. Developmental player (could be G or skkilled big that needs a year)

As CJ said, it really started to click late in season for him in his freshman season 

[Gerry Hamilton]

Some stuff in Europe from Matas 

 

[Sundancekid]

Too bad Miller can’t recruit…

[Gerry Hamilton]

A lot of things I like about Matas ... a couple 

1. Very good hands for a big man.

2. Has a left hand scoring ability

3. Runs floor with purpose 

4. Physical player, period.

This roster already has a lot of size ...

and the next two portal additions will be another big (6-10, 240'ish) and a big guard that can shoot it

[Sundancekid]

What about a point guard? 

[jkates]

I like this kid's game. He needs some strength and will need to be a stronger finisher at the rim in the SEC, but he gots skills.

Him, Codie, Vinson and Clark have to hit the weight room hard this summer.

Solid pick up. Any sources sharing Miller’s perspective of being at Texas? Things like brand, support, NIL etc.?

[bierce]

I'm happy for this pick up, but I'm not over the moon about it.

He's a true freshman, so there is plenty of room for improvement, but he's not a plus shot blocker, a guy with big offensive range, or a guy you can expect to beat a guy of similar size and strength on the block.  He is someone who seems to understand the game very well for his age, and he is terrific at positioning.  Check out his transfer portal highlight vid, and you will see what I mean.  There is nothing there that wows you with his athleticism, but it is a terrific exposition of understanding how to get into position to score. 

Give this guy 3 years of S&C training, and he could be awesome, but don't give up on him if he appears to be something less than what you hoped in his first year here.

[ChanmanV]

Let's go! The roster is coming together well. Could use either another big body or a traditional PG that can shoot and defend.
