Quite literally, new Texas basketball coach Sean Miller picked up a big pledge in the portal Sunday.
Matas Vokietaitis, a 7-foot, 245-pound freshman post from Florida Atlantic, became the third portal player to commit to Texas since Miller took over for the fired Rodney Terry March 24. A native of Lithuania, Vokietaitis averaged 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds a game and shot 67.7% this past season while earning the American Athletic Conference’s freshman of the year award.
He joins small forwards Dailyn Swain (Xaxier) and Cam Heide (Purdue) as the portal additions for Texas. Returning guards Tramon Mark, Chendall Weaver and Jordan Pope have also announced their intentions to play one more season at Texas.
