It doesn’t look like the Longhorns are going to have to do much more adding to the forward rotation out of the transfer portal this offseason after landing a trio of commitments to the program with this position group. Allen, Disu, and Bishop should all be able to fill voids in the forward rotation next season.

And not to mention that Beard and the Longhorns were able to flip the commitment of the former Texas Tech Red Raiders elite four-star recruit and John Paul II small forward Jaylon Tyson earlier this month. He could fill a void depth in this spot in the rotation too in the near future.

Moreover, if there is at least one more spot to fill in the forward rotation then adding someone like the former Fresno State Bulldogs and UTEP Miners redshirt senior forward Bryson Williams could be the right move. This two-time All-Conference-USA forward has already landed in the transfer portal twice in his career to date.

It was back during the 2016 recruiting cycle that Williams first landed with Fresno State. After two seasons with Fresno State, Williams put his name on the transfer market and took his talents to join the Miners.

In 24 games played with UTEP last season, Williams averaged 15.1 points per game, 7.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks. And he shot 48.1 percent from the field, 27.9 percent from beyond the arc, and 83.6 percent from the free-throw line.

A player that has well over a dozen career win shares, 21.1 player efficiency rating, and a 1.9 box plus/minus rating at a potential position of need should usually be welcome on the Forty Acres.
