Nearly two entire seasons into his tenure with the Texas Longhorns, sophomore guard Jase Febres is beginning to look a lot like the elite sharpshooter Shaka Smart recruited out of Houston Westfield in 2016.
Along the way, Febres has provided promising flashes of his perimeter touch, though the consistency Smart sought after was sorely lacking. For example, Febres followed a 23-point explosion (7-of-9 from three) in a Big 12-opening blowout win over Kansas State with nine total points (1-of-8 from three) throughout the next two games, and later succeeded back-to-back 12-point performances (7-of-16 from three) against Texas Tech and Kansas with 12 total points (2-of-10 from three) against Oklahoma and TCU.
