With all thirteen roster spots filled out heading into the summer, it is time to take a look at Texas Basketball’s potential 2020-21 lineup.

After five-star power forward Greg Brown announced his commitment to Texas basketball on Friday, the Longhorns now have their full roster set for the 2020-21 season.

All twelve scholarship players from last season are set to return to Austin, giving Shaka Smart the most experienced team in the country. Led by seniors Matt Coleman and Jericho Sims, the Longhorns should have a team ready to compete for a Big 12 title.

In addition to Coleman, the Longhorns are returning two other guards in juniors Courtney Ramey and Andrew Jones that both averaged over ten points per game. Jones, in particular, caught fire down the stretch, leading the Longhorns on one of the most unpredictable runs in the country.

The addition of Brown is a big one for Texas, as power forward was the biggest position of weakness throughout the season. Combined with Sims’ season-ending injury just one month into conference play, the contributions in the low post certainly could have been better for Texas.

With a fully healthy roster in the fold, this should be a very fun Longhorns team to watch. The balance between the experienced guards and young forwards should make for an exciting group in Austin that should be ready to compete for a Big 12 title.

Let’s take a look at how the Longhorns could divvy up the minutes next season.
