Is it for sure Moore is gone after this season? I thought she was awarded a red shirt after her knee injury.

Considering she's now missing 2 straight games with knee tendinitis, I am not 100% sure she will take that medical RS, because her knees may be shot to hell. 

(She's not playing tomorrow)

I mean, who’s to say Phelia’s eye issues will improve next season? Sounds like it’s a recurring issue from a surgery long ago. We still need to try to land Chavez at all costs, or we may end up in a situation where Harmon needs to play 40 mins/game next season again.  

Harmon, Lee, Preston, Crump (top 5 recruit), Phelia, plus Booker who plays minutes at the 3. 

That's already difficult to figure out minutes at the 1-3 even without Chavez. Either somebody isn't returning out of that group or Chavez doesn't make much sense at all. 

There's zero chance players like Preston and Crump are coming here to sit on the bench.

We shouldn't take a risk on Moore either. 

She can't stay healthy. It's unfortunate but sometimes you have to prioritize other options.

I think Crump will most likely be Booker’s backup at the 3. At least that’s my understanding.

Yeah, there's a logjam at PG/SG if Phelia is taking a RS and coming back and Harmon is coming back - she has not confirmed that yet, it's an end-of-season decision for her.  

Our guard situation is good enough to win it all next year without Chavez. Assuming Harmon returns. 

I have zero problem if we prioritize a legit big in the portal over Chavez if that's what is needed with NIL. It's a tough decision though because Chavez is such a damn good player.

Yeah, Crump is a SF, just like Booker.  It's the 4 person rotation of Harmon/Preston/Lee/Phelia that is the issue. 

At what point does Vic sell AC's camp a 4 guard lineup of Harmon, Lee, Chavez, Booker + a post player?  Because he's heavily hinted that is the way WCBB is going.

We are going to need to add a 4 and 5 in the portal.

I don't think we have any faith in Moore who is likely done at Texas. Carlton is still young. We need a 4 and then a 5 to pair with Oldacre. 

With the Covid years over, I’m very curious who Vic has his eye on as a potential portal target at PF and C.  Gonna need some coaching changes to jar some players loose.

The 5 is by far the most immediate concern with Jones leaving. Oldacre is a a great player but limited. We need an experienced 5 with height from the portal.

 For next year Rori and Laila returning seem like a win, but if it stops Chavez from coming that greatly effects our future.

Yeah it doesn’t look like Vic will be able to make Boutillier the next Tiara McCowan like he had hoped, but it was worth a shot 

Jones should be Vic’s exhibit A for post players. Second in the SEC in FG%. And #1 has only played in 2 SEC games

Maybe we'd have enough future 3-point shooting even without Chavez, but I'm highly skeptical at this point. Then again, I'm just as skeptical we can win a national title without more athletic bigs than are currently in the queue. So I'll fall back on my usual approach to recruiting in any sport: "We're Texas. Take them all."
