This season’s first-round NCAA Tournament exit was the first time that Aston’s Longhorns missed the Sweet Sixteen since 2014, but they could return as soon as next season. Texas will have a strong core of players led by rising senior Joyner Holmes (11.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG this season) and rising junior Destiny Littleton (8.4 PPG). If things click for rising sophomore Charli Collier and she shows off the skills that made her HoopGurlz’s second-ranked recruit in 2018, look out for the Longhorns next season.
