Speaking of St. John's, I saw Dillon Mitchell is transferring there.  Pitino and Mitchell are a good match, and I mean that in a positive way.

Mitchell should be the person most upset with Beards dumb ass getting arrested 

Dude went from 1 and done lottery pick to 4 years in college

I think the 4 points per game, inability to do anything but dunk the basketball, 40% FT percentage, and complete inability to shoot had way more to do with that than anything Beard did.

It’s a shame because he plays good defense.

Texas Hoops: Battle for Wilcher; team notes

Sean Miller and staff are in a battle for St. John's transfer combo guard Simeon Wilcher. Texas has been the favorite to land the 6-foot-4 CG that started 25 games for the Big East Champion since entering the portal. Maryland and Ole Miss are among the teams battling hard vs. the Longhorns. Maryland, in particular, due to the family relationship with Buzz Williams have been a thorn in the last 16 hours. Chris Beard is also trying his best to get Wilcher to not commit to the Longhorns. 

More on the remaining needs for the 2025-26 team below.

Two team notes ...

Two players have looked really good in recent work. The staff is very excited about what 6-8.5 power forward Nic Codie can become in Miller's offensive system. His skill set has really impressed. And how impressively he immediately jumped in and showed his desire to develop.

The staff also likes what they have seen from the skill set of Jordan Pope, and believes there is more they can unlock offensively. Pope is expected to be a quality mover without the ball in Miller's system, which will create more scoring opportunities on the move. 

Texas current 2025-26 roster...

Tramon Mark, CG, 6-6, Gr. (10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists)

Jordan Pope, CG, 6-0, senior (11.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists)

Chendall Weaver, G, 6-3, senior (6.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists)

Camden Heide, F, 6-7, junior (4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 39.2% from three at Purdue) 

Dailyn Swain, F, 6-8, junior (11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals at Xavier)

Matas Vokietaitas, C, 7-0, sophomore (10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds at FAU)

Lassina Traore, C, 6-10, senior (11.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists in 2023-24 at LBSU) 

Nic Codie, PF,  6-8.5, sophomore

John Clark, PF, 6-8.5, freshman

Jamie Vinson, PF, 6-10.5, sophomore

11th and 12th scholarship portal targets ...

Texas will take one more combo guard, and likely two more guards to complete the 2025-26 team. A combo of a college portal and international player is in play. 

The 13th scholarship…

Texas will be patient here. Will likely be a developmental player. There are a number of international prospects getting serious evaluations.

Sean MIller's staff ...

Chris Ogden - General Manager

Adam Cohen - Associate Head Coach

David Miller - Assistant coach

Kenya Hunter - assistant coach

Ulric Malagi - assistant coach

Ryan Anderson - Assistant coach/Director of player Development

Ryan Reynolds - Special Assistant to the Head Coach

Cam Miller -Director of Operations

Andy Kettler - Head of strength & conditioning 

 

 

 

Gerry also posted this video of Evan Boisdur who he says is one of the 3-4 international guys Texas is in contact with.

If we add that French guard, I'd be pretty satisfied with the roster repurposing by Miller.  

Even if we don't, we look on paper to have a more balanced, bigger, stronger roster than last year.

Wow.  I didn't expect that.

Yeah, most people thought he’d go to UNC since he committed to them initially?

I'd absolutely still love a white Euro guard who just hits 3s at 40+% off the bench.  But that's just me

Other than UConn any news on non-conference schedule/teams? 

It was announced a while back that Texas is playing in the Maui Invitational the week of Thanksgiving with Arizona State, Boise State, Chaminade, NC State, Seton Hall, USC and Washington State.

Don't think the bracket has been announced yet.

I would hope that Texas doesn't have issues with NCAA DII PacWest middle of the road Chaminade. Shit, even my wife's milquetoast alma mater routinely beats them in conference play.

But then again...

We just wrapped up Jim Schlossngale's media availability ahead of tomorrow's opening game of a three-game home series between No. 1 Texas A&M. Here are a few key things to file away:

— Jared Spencer is returning from Houston after undergoing further evaluation for the arm injury he suffered in last Thursday's win over Auburn. Spencer will speak with his family before he decides what to do next, which includes surgery. As Blake Munroe reported this morning, Ruger Riojas will start the Friday game against the Aggies, followed by Luke Harrison on Saturday. 

— Jonah Williams left Tuesday's road win over Texas State with a leg injury. Schloss said Williams was feeling "pretty good" today. They won't push him in practice today to help him continue his recovery. Williams' availability for the A&M series is TBD.

— Ethan Mendoza isn't ready to return to second base yet. Schloss said Mendoza will remain in the DH spot in the lineup. It'll either be Jayden Duplantier or Adrian Rodriguez manning second base until Medoza is ready to return to his full-time role.
