A hotly-contested recruiting cycle saw Bru McCoy stay in California to play for the USC Trojans, but things changed quickly for the five star prospect. The departure of Kliff Kingsbury led to the elite athlete transferring and landing with the Texas Longhorns. What does the addition of McCoy do for Texas moving forward and what can fans expect moving forward? (2:14)

Texas basketball continued to struggle, as they dropped back-to-back games against TCU and Georgia to fall to 11-9 on the season.
