When Texas Longhorns head coach Shaka Smart arrived in Gainesville as an assistant coach for Billy Donovan in 2008, there was a popular phrase coined by a former player.
“We all we got.”
Two years ago, Smart brought up the phrase with Andrew Jones out battling leukemia and Kerwin Roach II recovering from a fractured hand. Two days later, Texas beat No. 8 Texas Tech at home.
The phrase seems fitting again this season — the Horns aren’t facing the same type of adversity poised by Jones starting his ultimately successful fight against leukemia, but the injuries have once again piled up.
