An offseason that was trending in the wrong direction for new Texas Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry as recently as a week ago started turning around on Saturday with the commitment of former Virginia Cavaliers forward Kadin Shedrick and gained serious momentum on Thursday with the pledge of former Oral Roberts Golden Eagles guard Max Abmas, whose name is pronounced “Ace-miss.”
CBS Sports ranks Abmas as the second-best player in the NCAA transfer portal this offseason with On3 slotting him as the top available point guard, so the proven ability of Abmas makes him a huge addition for the Longhorns as a player with the capability of replacing and perhaps even exceeding the contributions of Marcus Carr, the lead guard for Texas over the last two seasons.
