Despite a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Texas basketball team still made a change at head coach this offseason, firing Rodney Terry and bringing in Sean Miller from Xavier. Miller was in his second stint at Xavier, sandwiched between a 2009-21 run at Arizona. Part of one of the top athletic departments in the nation, Miller should have ample resources to build the 2025-26 Texas basketball roster into an improved unit after the Longhorns went just 6-12 in SEC play this season. Who is coming and going via the Texas basketball transfer portal, and which players are set to step up for Miller in 2025-26 and beyond?

Texas basketball roster news
Thus far, Miller has done a tremendous job re-recruiting the current Texas basketball roster. At least five players who were on the team last year will be back in 2025-26, most notably guards Tramon Mark and Jordan Pope — both players who averaged double-digit scoring last year. Chendell Weaver is another promising player who excelled on defense and should be a big part of next year’s team.
Unsurprisingly, the front court has been Miller’s point of emphasis in the Texas transfer portal. The Longhorns have now added three big men via the portal, including Xavier transfer Dailyn Swain, who was one of Miller’s top players last year. The newest addition is center Matas Vokietaitis, a 7-footer who averaged 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds for FAU last year. Get the latest Texas basketball roster news at Horns247.
