Five-Star big man Jarrett Allen is simply a can't-miss recruit for Shaka Smart and Texas

Though the Texas Longhorns towering frontcourt is an area of abundance and surplus entering the 2015-16 campaign – the first under head coach Shaka Smart – the landscape down low may be quite the contrary only a year from now.
