Lewis earned All-West Coast Conference honors this past season after averaging 13.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists a game. He fills a roster need for an outside shooter, too; over his first two collegiate seasons, Lewis made 126 of his 340 3-point shots for a long-distance rate of 37.1%.
Miller will join a set of guards that now includes Johnson, Evans and a trio of freshmen in McDonald's All-American Austin Goosby, Bo Ogden and Joe Sterling. Ogden, the son of Texas general manager Chris Ogden, recently earned the Central Texas boys player of the year award from the American-Statesman after leading Westlake High School to the state finals.
The addition of Miller gives Texas 12 scholarship players for next season. Schools can have up to 15 players on their roster, and all are eligible for a scholarship since the House vs NCAA settlement last summer did away with scholarship limits. However, most programs still have a few walk-ons on the program; last seasonâs Texas roster included three walk-ons, and this yearâs roster structure could look similar depending on what Miller and Ogden do with their personnel.
