Nice get!

This roster is completely different in composition from last year. Lots of length!

Texas hasn't had this height on its roster in a long time..

Yes. I've always thought that was a weakness of Texas teams. They may have 1 or 2 players with some height but couldn't compete against teams with a real center or tall PFs.

@hookemhorb --- TRUTH!!

Would love to be 10-3 or better going into conference.

Probable losses on the road to Duke and Uconn, plus going 2-1 at least in Maui. Virginia was terrible last year so I hope we can beat them at home.

Losses to any of those mid majors would be rough.

I had to double check on some of these opponents.

I agree that we can't lose to any of these mid-majors.

The Maui Invitational we start with the last game of the day on Nov.24th at 10PM CST against Arizona State. We then either play Washington State or Chaminade at 7 PM [winner's bracket], or 2 hrs. after the game in the loser bracket, on the 25th.

This looks like the pieces of a solid team. Good length and athleticism. Who is the go to guy on this? Mark? Swain maybe?

With Mark coming off shoulder surgery and is at least a couple of weeks away from possibly being cleared for contact play; then not certain he starts as a go to player. Swain could be. League play is where both need to be healthy and be a 1-2 punch as go to players with a big.

I would add that @longhorn_mig has better insight than most. So, if he has any thoughts those would be welcome.
