The video kicks off with a reflection on a thrilling NCAA Final Four featuring powerhouse teams. Florida stood out with a 36-4 record, navigating the toughest conference with elite talent and multiple future NBA stars.
NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) money is reshaping college basketball, concentrating talent in wealthy programs. Despite this, Houston is optimistic with three McDonald’s All-Americans set to arrive.
Texas’ coach Sean Miller strategically leverages the transfer portal, bringing in Dailyn Swain, Matas Vokietaitis, and Cam Heide scoring and athleticism.
A standout pickup, Vokietaits is a 7-foot rim-running center who shot 70% at the rim. He’s expected to be a cornerstone with multi-year eligibility, possibly reviving Texas’ post-up game.
Heide brings three-point accuracy (39%), freakish leaping ability, and potential to attack closeouts. His shooting fills a major gap in Texas’ perimeter offense.
At 6’8″, Swain excels in slashing and rim attacks. While not yet a shooter, his strength and agility make him a dangerous offensive weapon. He fits perfectly with Texas’ high-speed, rim-focused strategy.

With players like Tramon Mark likely taking the lead guard role, and Jordan Pope transitioning into a shooting/catch-and-shoot contributor, Texas is solidifying defined roles for its returners.
Nic Codie, a 6’8″ sophomore, is slated for a backup power forward role. With glimpses of scoring potential, his development is key to frontcourt depth.
The Longhorns have a handful roster spots left. Priorities include a shooting guard who can space the floor and potentially a developmental point guard to sustain backcourt strength.
Texas is projected in the 20s for preseason rankings, reflecting a solid build with high-ceiling players, even if lacking a clear superstar.
