This is gonna be a put-up-or-shut-up year for Shaka Smart at Texas. 2 DAYS AGO ANDREW JONES WAS CLEARED FOR ALL BASKETBALL ACTIVITIES !!!! HOOORAY!!!!
Their backcourt is gonna be the most reliable they've had for some time, the frontcourt though is gonna be a bit more interesting....
Jericho Sims is gonna finally get his minutes /role increase, he's gonna be extremely impressive.
Kameka Hepa at PF is something I've been waiting to see for some time, he looks talll to me too.
Their PG rotation of Courtney Ramey and Matt Coleman is super strong. Also we should see a nice uptick from Jase Febres this year.
I think that should be a pleasant surprise and should be a near top-25 team at somepoint.
The real sleeper / x-factor on the team is Gerald Lidell, he'll be a Sophomore, he was always seen as raw but high upside, interested to see how he's improved.
**One could make a strong argument that in fact Sophomore Courtney Ramey is the real x-factor. But for that team to truly be at it's best, Lidell will be out there doing all sorts of crazy athletic stuff at SF..
