Herman Gets A B+

The men’s basketball team lost a heart-breaker to Tech in overtime.

How should Tom Herman’s first season be graded?

A grade of B- seems fair to Herman following a season where the Longhorns showed signs of being not too far away from contending in the Big 12 due to the elite defense Todd Orlando put on the field and arguably the best punter in school history in Michael Dickson helping win the field position battle. At the same time, there are noticeable chinks in the armor Herman needs more time to repair like figuring out the proper direction of the quarterback position, fixing the offensive line and improving the overall depth up and down the roster to what’s comparable to other championship-caliber programs.

Texas may be a baseball school again.
