Texas basketball media days: Longhorns express excitement about upcoming season
Senior guard Shaylee Gonzales: "We have a really stacked team right now. We're going to be super tough. I actually got here two months ago. I'm a grad transfer (from BYU) and the differences between teams, I just feel like this team is more aggressive and tough. I feel like I'm playing with taller, faster, stronger girls. Obviously it's a different conference jumping from the WCC to the Big 12 so I'm just really looking forward to being able to see what our team can do with what we've been practicing and conditioning with. I'm just super excited."
Senior guard Sonya Morris: "Every year I'm really excited to play but I think this year, it tops all the other years because the opportunities and we really have a true chance to make it to the national championship. I just think if we just stick our nose to the grind and just stay with it, stay focused, stay consistent, I'm just really excited to see how far we will go."
Junior guard Shay Holle: "So excited, especially being in the Moody Center, this is the first week of official practices in here so it's very motivating just seeing how nice it is. Hopefully seeing these stands be filled is going to be really fun."
Junior forward Taylor Jones: "This is definitely a special group and we are looking to do some damage. I mean, the chemistry with all of us is just amazing, and we also have a lot of talent. I'm very excited just to play alongside of them."
Sophomore forward Aaliyah Moore: "I'm so excited. I'm healthy, we look good, have a good schedule coming up so I'm really excited to play with this team. I think we're going to surprise some people. I'm excited. I'm a sophomore now, not a freshman so it's gonna be a really good year."
This team is loaded with talent and attitude, best chance in a long time to cut the final nets. You don't want to see this group warming up in your gym.
Nor do you want to see this guy working the other bench:
