A huge day for new head coach Chris Beard spanned beyond just the NCAA Transfer Portal on July 17. This big day for hoops on the Forty Acres also saw the 2022 Texas basketball recruiting class get off and running in a massive way. Texas was really prioritizing the elite five-star iSchool Entrepreneurial Academy point guard Arterio Morris since Beard was first hired as the head coach back on April 1.
And that constant pursuit of Morris looks to have paid dividends now for Beard and the Longhorns in a big way.
