If there’s one thing we know about Texas Longhorns head basketball coach Shaka Smart, it’s that he greatly values great effort from his players. Though incoming freshman small forward Brock Cunningham may not make a big impact in the box score this year, Smart and the team expect him to make an impact beyond a stat line by bringing intensity to every practice and every play.
“I love Brock because [he] competes on every play.” Smart says, “I can’t wait to see how his blue-collar mentality is going to positively affect our team.”
An incoming freshman from Westlake High School, Cunningham has long been tied to the Longhorn program.
