Terrence Johnson has been one of the VERY few promising things about watching TXST athletics the last couple years, but what players did he actually bring into the program on the last two rosters vs. inherit from his predecessor? The portal had an insane amount of talent this past off season and while he brought in 2 seemingly useless UF transfers, he stuck to recruiting unranked HS projects and JUCO kids who continue to have low hit rates.
I’m certainly overreacting about basketball considering it’s November, but what a change from last year. It seems like the 2023 class is more of the same. Gumbs looks good out of SMHS, but then we took 2 JUCO guys with the same average stats as the Drinnion’s, Coleman’s, etc. of the roster.
It’s nice that Morgan looks like he’s finally come along as a senior but that may be more out of necessity. The Dawson/Martin HS class not panning out like we hoped is unfortunate. I’d say that 1/2 of our HS takes look like reaches, so that’s not surprising.
