Newly hired Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard landed his first commitment with the Longhorns on Thursday afternoon.  John Paull II High School (Plano, TX) 2021 small forward Jaylon Tyson was committed to Beard at Texas Tech, and decided to follow Beard in his same role at the University of Texas.

Tyson, a 6-6, 185 lb. four-star prospect, announced his decision via his Twitter account which included the following statement:

"I want to thank Texas Tech University and everyone in association with the men's basketball program for your support. It has always been my dream to play for Coach Beard. When I started getting recruited by high major schools, Coach saw something that I did not see in myself.  With that being said... Hook 'Em!"

Longhorns also lost Royce Hamm and Donovan Williams to the portal but it appears both are heading to UNLV as their next stop.  Hamm announced his decision last Saturday and now Williams.

I'm thinking this might be addition by subtraction, your thoughts?
