The offseason staff changes for head coach Shaka Smart and the Texas Longhorns basketball program are presumably now complete, as Andrea Hudy is coming to Austin after spending 15 years with the Kansas Jayhawks, according to the Kansas City Star.
Smart needed to find a replacement for longtime strength and conditioning coach Daniel Roose, who followed Smart from VCU in 2015 when Smart took the Texas job, but recently opted to return.
The hire of Hudy is a coup for Smart, not only because of the prominence that Kansas holds in college basketball, but also because of the success that she had with the Jayhawks — she was named National College Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year in 2013 by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
