Spoke with someone in the Hicks camp this morning ... They will also make trips to Florida for the LSU game and Georgia Tech for the Miami game. Teams now know they have to try and make a run at Hicks with it being 50-50 he ends up in the 2025 cycle.

One RB for sure Texas is pushing for in 2026 ... Amari Latimer of Sandy Creek in Tyrone, Ga. We shall see who the second RB Choice truly pushes for

It has meaning

Love it! Haha

I agree with you on what they will provide. Two terrific role players. Both guys that will have a career in hoops overseas

PG - Either Jordan Pope or Julian Larry SG - Tre Johnson SG - Tramon Mark PF Arthur Kaluma C Kadin Shedrick *Guard Chendall Weaver and PF Jayson Kent will play starter minutes. Rounding out the rotation: C Ze'Rik Onyema, wing Malik Presley and wing Devon Pryor. Could play way into a role later in the season: Freshman center Jaime Vinson OTF boxes to check NCAA Tournament level team: Yes Sweet 16 or better: TBD, but this team is much more talented than last year if the players buy into roles.

Ability to average 75+ points per game: Tramon Mark, Tre Johnson, Jordan Pope, Arthur Kaluma, Julian Larry, Jayson Kent, Kadin Shedrick and Chendall Weaver can all put up double digit on a given night. Perimeter shooting: Jordan Pope, Julian Larry, Tramon Mark, Tre Johnson and Jayson Kent will all knock down three's. Free throw shooting: Potentially best free throw shooting team at Texas. High-end role players: Yes. Julian Larry, Jayson Kent, Chendall Weaver and Kadin Shedrick. Basketball intelligence: Yes. This is a big step up with this years roster. Julian Larry, Jayson Kent and Jordan Pope additions are significant upgrades.
