After missing last season because of eligibility issues, former Port Arthur Memorial guard J'Covan Brown will finally suit up for the Longhorns this season and join a crowded backcourt rotation. A combo guard with exceptional scoring ability who is also capable of spending some time at the point guard position, all the reports from the summer pick-up games indicate that Brown will seriously contend for major minutes this season, possibly leaving a player like Justin Mason on the outside looking in. If he can control his fiery tempo and operate within Rick Barnes' system, he may be the player who can put the Longhorns over the top this season and help them return to the Final Four.
