Transfer Portal 2024

Sincerely hookem said:
We need some others to jump in the portal and gain like 3 legit players from the portal. If I’m being honest I love out Longhorns but we can’t get with the SEC right now. SC and LSU ain’t going nowhere and they friends are only gearing up and getting better and quite frankly this year wasn’t enough and almost everybody staying let that sink in. tamu, ole miss, miss state, Ken, candy, auburn, and Florida will ALL be better than this year. We need help frfr going into the SEC is a arms race and we do not have enough right now to be “challenging” anybody.

Texas needs guard play.

Blair Schaefer started following Timea Gardiner out of Oregon State on Instagram.

That would be huge. Gardiner isn’t the guard a lot of people have been squawking about - she’s a really good combo forward (SF/PF). She made 39.5% of the 172 3’s she took last season. That would’ve led the Longhorns in both categories - Shaylee hit 38% of her 158.
 
I think it's kind of telling that so far Blair (who coaches guards) only started following two transfers in Center, Kyla Oldacre and now PF Timea Gardiner. Until I see Elena, Blair, or Lindsay follow some transfers at other positions, that's all I have to go on as to where our focus lies.
 
Dang - this is one I was keeping an eye on. I guess taking the starting spot for UNC is better than backing up Rori.

This player's path has been on of the most perplexing of all for me. McDonald's AA and Top 10 recruit out of HS in the class of 2018. She started out doing well at Tennessee, then was injured and things have been really weird for her since.

According to reports, she has the Do Not Contact designation. Sounds like an LSU type situation.

While LSU could be her destination, that only makes sense to me if she wants to play Center. Aneesha Morrow is their power forward, and Mickayla Williams is their small forward. Then, S'Myah Smith is set to return from her knee injury. Don't see a guaranteed starting spot unless she wants to play down low like Angel Reese.

Interesting because Laila has a Do Not Contact label.

I don't know exactly what the coaches see in the Portal itself; I'm sure they see the DO NOT Contact selection. Not sure if following her on Instagram counts as "contact"; perhaps that means no emails or telephone calls and they Portal hides their contact information.
 
Joniah Barker is the most athletic big player to come on the portal. I don't know what kind of team player she is, but she does have significant basketball skills. Wish we had some wiggle room to go after some of these players.

Trust me there's "wiggle room."
 
So, I am trying not to get too excited about the possibility of Raegan Beers coming to Texas as there have been no trustworthy reports that she has entered the transfer portal. But, based on so many of her OSU teammates entering the portal, I think it's a matter of "when" and not "if" she enters.

Apparently, Texas was one of the schools Beers considered during her recruitment out of high school; that would mean she has a prior relationship with Vic (but most likely not our other coaches) as she verbally committed to OSU in mid-October 2020.

There is a pay article from the Albany (Oregon) Democrat-Herald from January of this year that contained the following blurb:

Raegan Beers was highly recruited out of high school and considered Big 12 options at Baylor and Texas before committing to Oregon State.

Have to admit I never had heard her name associated with Texas back in the day. Would be huge if that is accurate and we get consideration again this time around.
 
Cali girl just can’t quit the state of Texas or the Big 12…

Ashley Chevalier, 5’7, G, Jr. (2.8 ppg) —> Houston
 
Both or either Beers or Phelia would help the team. Phelia would immediately slot into starting 2 guard. That would allow Holle to slot back into her original 6th player role and give Lee time to mature. I’m gonna have think hard how Beers fits in. She’s listed as a 6’-4” forward indicates some versatility. Does she put Gaston or Moore on the bench? Or start at the five and rotate with Jones and others. If Beers came, we would be through with bigs. That’s Schaefer’s dept but does show how she might fit. Guess I should have paid more attention to OSU to see her best skills, Neither may come but fun to contemplate.
