I did think he looked somewhat lighter and quicker than when he was here but it still appeared that the pace of the game, admittedly against the #1 team in the country, was too fast for him. He also got lost on defense a few times, particularly on pick and rolls. But, as others have said, he still has time to adjust and to develop so it's far too early to judge whether he made the right move or not.

^ Does he though? Texas has high hopes and aspirations this year. If he doesn't figure it out quickly you might see 14 minutes as the norm.

Both starting forwards at Texas right now are Seniors.m - matter of fact all 5 starters are seniors. Tre still has another year left at Texas. Give him time adapting to a new program, I guarantee you he will make things happen at Texas and we will hear positive things about his play.

This year Texas brought in perhaps the top class of Tranfers. Why don’t you think they will be able to do that again?

This is Chris Beard’s first season, I don’t expect him to go crazy on the transfer market going forward the way he just did for a couple of reasons: the same transfer rules will not apply going forward and he will be focusing more on high school recruiting seeing the long term picture.

The Globe questions whether his transfer will work out, vs. staying here.

It is a worthwhile discussion... I still think he made a mistake, but there's a long way to go with this season.

Has a player ever transferred back to a school he transferred out of? Can't imagine it ever happened

I remember Akoy Agau left Louisville and transferred back there for his final season.

Tre Mitchell got the start tonight and is currently leading the Longhorns in points and rebounds.

My reference was more to his ability to recruit a top National Class , not as much as it has to do with Transfers. He will be able to recruit a top level HS player who will be able to step in and play significant minutes as a freshman, so the minutes that TM will be looking for will not be coming his way.
