Minutes from that sweet 16 squad, plus star Dalen Swain bouncing to the NBA draft. But head coach Sean Miller flipped the script quick, landing the number two transfer portal class in the country, according to 247 sports. Putting the long horns right in the mix for SEC dominance would just days left in the window. They snagged XTCU forward. David Punch and Colorado Point Guard, Isaiah Johnson, to anchor things while keeping rising Junior Center, Mata's Vokia to Itis. In the fall for House, that duo alone got folks calling it the second best front court in the conference, straight power up front. To cover Swain's departure, he led in points at 17.3 per game. Boards at 7.5, dimes at 3.6, and steals at 1.6. They added wings like Tennessee's, Amari Evans and Auburn's, Elijah Freeman, both bringing length, defense, and solid stats around 9 points, and 5 rebounds for Freeman.

1:07Benchstep got some question marks, especially the backup big and ball handler, with true freshmen like Bo Ogden and Joe Sterling, more offball guys. And McDonald's All-American Austin Goosby, leaning wing. They got young returners in power forward. John Clark, a four-star who redshirted for development, and 7-foot center Lewis Obeyora, recovering from. A foot fracture. Projected 8-man rotation looked stacked. Johnson at point, Goosby at 2, Freeman at 3, Punch at 4, Bokia to Itis at 5, then Evans, Clark. And Ogden off the pine, Texas built to run deep and compete now.
