Will Bryson follow CRT to UT?

[unihorn]

I think he will. He’d benefit from a year of better coaching and competition.

 

[JCorona]

Most likely. I think he wants to experience the tournament before his college career ends.

I saw that UT has one returning player, who isn't even a starter. If BW decides to return, playing time should be plentiful.

 

[unihorn]

I’d hate to see him go, but would understand it.

 

[DaveJans]

No way he suits up for the 21-22 Miners. He’s gone anyway.

Me too but I'm ok with it. Time to move on.

Bryson might be why Beard wanted Terry. I doubt it was Terry's X & O strategies.

 

[STexMiner]

I'm actually surprised no one else has landed in the portal.....so far.

Once we finally have a new coach, it will be most intriguing to see what happens with the remaining roster and who the new coach brings with him.

What are the rules on Division 1 transfers now? He had to sit out a year to play here but he can leave and play right away at Texas??

 

[Minerforlife]

It's dumb if he wants to play professional basketball. He's not an NBA prospect. He may get on a summer league roster but his future is in Europe. He's already 23. No matter what he does next year the NBA isn't going to draft a 24 year old. He risks getting injured and never getting paid.

Yes, should be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer.

If Bryson plays for the Longhorns it will be for one year. Now coaches have been hired for their ability to bring in a star player before (Danny Manning's dad Ed Manning comes to mind), but it is always for a player who is expected to be around for a while, not for a one year rental. Beard wanted Terry because he is an excellent recruiter, who brought in a lot of top talent to UT during his previous stint as an assistant there.

If Texas wants Williams they don't need Terry to get him.

You can live just fine playing overseas. BW needs to get sign, get on a plane and get paid. Right Mr. Culpepper?

The thing that brings most American players back is the constant movement from one team/club to the next. I also have heard that the loneliness can be overbearing. The money is there, though to make a good living.

Per a very reliable source, Bryson is going to announce that he is declaring for the draft in the next couple of weeks. It is now or never for him. If he plays another year in NCAA, it would be his 6th year in college and he would be 24 going into the draft.

 

[minergabe]

He needs to play pro ball, he’s done all he can in college.

Is he working on a master's? (Has he graduated?)

If he's a year away from a master's, then a master's from UT is a nice fall-back plan. Some percentage of these players are actually student-athletes.
