Early impact of Texas F Jaxson Hayes warrants increased playing time

Jaxson Hayes wasn’t supposed to have this significant of an impact. Not this soon, at least.

The Texas Longhorns true freshman arrived on the Forty Acres ranked outside of the top 100 talents in his class, per the 247Sports Composite, yet now just nine games into his collegiate career, Hayes owns a pair of Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors and continues to garner praise as a legitimate NBA prospect.

Don’t know when, but @TexasMBB Jaxson Hayes made money last night. At 6-11, he’s as elastic as Gumby.
