    Oregon State transfer PG Jordan Pope commits to Texas

    The Texas Longhorns added a huge piece to 2024-25 team this afternoon.

    Oregon State transfer PG/CG Jordan Pope committed to Texas over Texas A&M ten minutes ago. 

    With Pope in the fold, the Longhorns will have constructed a back court that is versatile, multiple ball handlers, multiple shooters from three, size to play big, athleticism, depth and very good offensive feel. The Longhorns will have a deeper and bigger backcourt in 2024-25. 

    Jordan Pope by the numbers

    Pope (6-1.5, 170) averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over 64 games (63 starts) in two seasons. He connected on 43.9% from the field, 37.4% from three and 86.1% from the foul line. He starred as a sophomore averaging 17.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 2023-24. That included 45.1% from the field, 37.1% from three (66 makes) and 87.9% from the free throw line (94 of 107). 

    Pope scored 20 or more in 12 games during the 2023-24 season. He scored a season high 31, including a game winner, against Arizona. 

    His numbers in Pac-12 play included 17.9 points per game with 41 made three's.

    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?
