Good signs! Texas basketball has No. 2 transfer portal class in nation
TL;DR
The Texas Longhorns men's basketball team has secured the No. 2 transfer portal class in the nation after signing point guard Isaiah Johnson from Colorado and power forward David Punch from TCU. Both players had impressive performances in their previous seasons, enhancing Texas's roster for the upcoming year.
It has been a good week for Sean Miller and the Texas Longhorns men's basketball program. The Horns have signed two strong players from the NCAA transfer portal and now have the No. 2 portal class in the nation, according to 247Sports.
On Saturday, we learned Texas had secured the commitment from Colorado Buffaloes point guard Isaiah Johnson. Coming off an impressive freshman year, where he averaged 16.9 points per game, Johnson is known as a prolific finisher at the basket. The Valley Village, CA native is also a solid three-point threat, shooting 37.8% on 4.6 threes per game. He is considered to be a strong replacement for fellow lefty guard Tramon Mark,.
Sunday, TCU Horned Frogs power forward David Punch gave his pledge to Texas. The 6-foot-7 sophomore started every game this season and averaged 14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game. Punch had a strong postseason. The Killeen, Texas native averaged 25 points on 58.6% shooting, 8.5 rebounds and three blocks in two Big 12 Tournament games. He also had a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds in TCU’s 66-64 win over No. 8 seed Ohio State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Miller has more work to do, but he's building off his Elite 8 appearance with a strong start to the transfer window.
