New Texas basketball head coach Chris Beard was forced to make some sweeping changes with this program right from the moment he was hired. The former Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach inherited a volatile situation at Texas, after the departure of the now-former Texas head coach Shaka Smart (who took over as the next Marquette Golden Eagles bench boss).

Beard and the Longhorns do have a more promising outlook in the couple of months since he was first hired. Some key NCAA Transfer Portal additions were able to bring stability to this roster, but there’s still a long way to go for the rest of the offseason.
