Texas Longhorns Land SEC Transfer, Final Four Dreams

0:00On April 19, Texas Longhorns just landed their Ford Transproportal Commit of the offseason. Auburn forward Elijah Freeman. He announced it on social media Sunday after just one year with the Tigers. This move came totally out of left field. No prior buzz about Texas chasing him. Freeman's a quick riser. When from unranked out of high school to starring at a division 2 school in Tennessee, then jump to the SEC and held his own right away. He brought serious talent to Auburn's tough conference, even if he wasn't the top score every night. Fans are buzzing now, seeing this as Texas gearing up to seriously contend for a national title. Hitting the final four feels realistic for the first time since 2003, way beyond just a sweet 16 surprise. Check the projected starting five, Freeman of front with studs like Matas Vokieta Idis and David Punch dominating inside, plus a slick backboard in. Isaiah Johnson and Austin Goosby. All these guys scream future second round NBA picks, maybe even next year.
