OVERALL

The Longhorns return a talented foursome of sophomores lead by Kabongo. Last year Brown was the do it all player for Texas and this year Kabongo will have to step into that leadership role. He was highly recruited last season and this season should be one of the best point guards in the country. Lewis and McClellan give them the firepower needed on the wings while Holmes looks to continue to improve inside with help from one of the top recruits at center in Ridley. The Longhorns will compete for a conference championship but might be a year away from national championship contender.
