7. Texas Longhorns

2025-26 record: 21-15 (9-9 SEC)

Roster departures

  • Tramon Mark (14 ppg and 3.5 rpg)
  • Jordan Pope (13.1 ppg and 1.9 apg)
  • Chendall Weaver (5.8 ppg and 4.1 apg)
  • Lassina Traore (3.4 ppg and 5.1 rpg)
  • Dailyn Swain (17.3 ppg, 7.5 rpg, and 3.6 apg)
  • Simeon Wilcher (5.6 ppg and 1.7 apg)
  • Nic Codie (4.1 ppg and 3.1 rpg)
  • Camden Heide (5.9 ppg and 2.7 rpg)

Roster returnees

  • Matas Vokietatis (15.6 ppg and 7.1 rpg)

Roster additions

  • Isaiah Johnson (16.9 ppg and 3.0 apg at Colorado)
  • Mikey Lewis (13.9 ppg and 2.1 apg at Saint Mary’s)
  • Amari Evans (4.1 ppg and 3.2 rpg at Tennessee)
  • David Punch (14.1 ppg and 6.8 rpg at TCU)
  • Elyjah Freeman (9.2 ppg and 5.2 rpg at Auburn)
  • Austin Goosby (4-star guard prospect)
  • Bo Ogden (4-star guard prospect)

Swain followed Coach Sean Miller over from Xavier and had his breakthrough year, leading Texas in all three main categories. He’s staying in the NBA Draft as a projected first-round pick, with the team needing several additions to try to replace his impact. 

The good news is that leading big man Vokietatis returns, joined by Punch, who led TCU in both scoring and rebounding last season. Johnson led Colorado in scoring as a freshman, while Evans is a standout defender who has more potential as a scorer, coming over from Tennessee. There’s plenty of offense on this roster, even without assuming the impact top-30 guard/wing Goosby has as a freshman.
