On April 24th, Houston's basketball squad under Coach Kelvin Samson is flipping the script again this season with the usual roster shake-up from the eye, draft, transfer portal, and eligibility losses. The project is starting five looks locked in, blending transfers and returners ready to battle in the Big 12 and chase another deep tournament run. Kicking things off at Point Guard, did Dan Thomas Jr., from LSU, steps in to run the show, bringing 15.3 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game last year. Health has tripped him up before, but if he stays on the court, he could fill the void left by Kingston Fleming's heading to the NBA. Meanwhile, Mercy Miller returns as shooting guard, the 6th with four California kid, who averaged five points on 48 points who percent. Shooting. Samson sees star potential there, though he's got competition for that spot as expectations ramp up. From the wings, Delrico Gillespie slides in at Power Forward, a transfer portal gym

with all Mac honors, leading the nation in double doubles ad. 17.7 points and 11.3 rebounds. Chase McCarthy holds down small forward, sticking around to bring size, defense, and the leadership this young group needs after key departures. Anchoring at all at center is Jojo Tuggler, a no-brainer day one starter with tournament experience, 8.4 points, 5.3 boards. An elite rim protection. With these pieces clicking, Houston's primed to keep dominating, Samson's machine rolls on.
