Beard picks up his first transfer from Kentucky
Former 4 star recruit last years class Guard Devin Askew

Nice!
And AJ just confirmed he’s coming back. (As expected, but still nice to see him make it official.)

This is a really nice pickup!

Yeah it is. I was reading the scouting report on this kid. And I think your going to have games where he and Febres just light it up from behind the arc. I think Beard knows that offense is the one thing that held his tech teams back. Wonder if Simms is thinking about coming back. That would be a big get for Beard
Haha yeah. Might not be the last dip in to the portal depending on what some other guys decide to do
Looks like Micah Peavy ends up going to TCU because of the two new guards we just picked up
aggy’s one good player has entered the portal.
Am I mature enough to not want Beard to grab ahold of the knife in their collective back and twist away?
No. No, I am not.

No. No, I am not.
am i mature enough to realize that if he's the best player, and is transferring, that he is probably not...mmmm... let's say, a leader... or mature... or in any way resembling an adult? yeah. yeah i am.
buzz is a good coach. sometimes intense. but if BUZZ is hard to take, then beard ain't gonna be the answer for him.
unless he's doing the aau college experience and team-hopping to play with his buddies.

Christian Bishop transfer from creighton has committed to Texas. Arguably the best player in the portal Beard got him over Kansas. Huge pickup.
I am pleasantly surprised by this. Given the proximity of his hometown to Kansas, I thought he would go there.....
I thought he would as well. This one wasn’t even on my radar. I saw Texas was in his final 4, but I assumed Kansas was probably the favorite.
Feel the same way about Timmy Allen? Or (potentially) Dylan Disu? Maybe these guys (and the aggy) just want to be on teams that don't completely suck. Or do you have specific negative info on Miller?
Anyway, without bringing in some very good transfers, Texas next year was basically going to be the Jarrett Allen team without Jarrett Allen -- at best. Whatever transferring may or may not indicate about a given player's character -- and I'm not convinced that it's a reliable indicator of anything -- I'm glad we're taking our chances. I'm not up for another 20-plus-loss waste of a season.
Basketball may be better than football at Texas for some time. I don't think the football team is going to be that great.
It’s easier to build a solid program in basketball. A couple studs and 4-5 decent guys you can get to the sweet 16. Not really that way in football. With that said though I think we have the right guys running both programs and will be a power house athletic program again soon
Boom! F***ing HUGE pickup from the portal!
Athletic 6'9" PF who led the SEC in rebounding. Can score too. Averaged 15 points (49.2% on FGs) and 9.2 rebounds at Vandy last season. Shot 37% on threes.

Beard is about to create a monster! Yes he got players at Tech but I don't think he can grab them like he can here!
I agree this is a huge pickup. I agree beard will be able to get players at Texas he couldn’t get at Tech. I think that’s why he took the job. Getting players at Texas has never been an issue, or at least hasn’t been for several years. I could make a nice NBA team out of Texas guys from the last 20 years or so
No other school could top Aldridge and Durant at forwards - that's pretty tough.
he hasn’t announced yet. The longer he waits the more I’d lean toward him coming back.
