After two seasons, Rodney Terry is out as head coach and Texas Longhorns basketball has turned to Xavier head coach Sean Miller to lead its program moving forward. In two stints at Xavier sandwiched around an extended stay in Arizona, Miller has been to the NCAA Tournament 13 times and guided his teams to four Sweet 16s and four Elite Eights. The expectations in Austin are that Miller capitalizes on deep-pocketed NIL donors to deliver the Longhorns back to the Final Four for the first time since 2003.
The college basketball transfer portal is open and Miller’s first task will be landing impact players who can help aid the transition. Who are the top Texas basketball recruiting targets and what are Miller’s plans for his tenure in Austin?

Texas basketball roster news
The Longhorns are likely to lose leading scorer Tre Johnson to the 2025 NBA Draft and there will inevitably be even more defections, but Miller will also have options of his own in the college basketball transfer portal. Two familiar faces that are expected to enter the portal from Xavier are Ryan Conwell (16.5 ppg) and Dailyn Swann (11.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game).
Other potential Texas basketball portal targets include Nevada forward Nick Davidson, UNLV guard Dedan Thomas Jr., FAU Matas Vokietaitis and Notre Dame forward Tae Davis. One gigantic name that stunned the college basketball world by entering the portal this week is St. John’s star and Big East Player of the Year RJ Luis Jr. He’ll test the NBA draft waters first, but Miller could give Texas a gigantic boost by landing one of the sport’s biggest names. Get the latest Texas basketball roster news at Horns247.

Bit of a scary moment at Talladega on Sunday afternoon, as the tire handler for Carson Hocevar took a pretty hard hit from the incoming car of Josh Berry. Hocevar's car was canted out onto pit road, and when Berry came through, well, a touch of chaos ensued.The tire carrier, Jarius Morehead, said in a brief television interview afterward that he was fine after the hit. Morehead played college football at N.C. State. Here's him in a more favorable moment:As a safety, Morehead surely made a few hard tackles ... though none as hard as getting hit by a car. Fortunately, all is well; that's why pit road speed limits exist.
