Texas basketball coach Sean Miller has bolstered his roster by securing the commitment of David Punch, a former forward from Texas Christian University (TCU). Punch, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 245 pounds, averaged 14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.98 blocks per game last season, making him one of the top power forwards in the Big 12 Conference. His addition is expected to strengthen the front court alongside returning player Matas Vokietaitis, who has also confirmed his return to the Longhorns. Texas is in the midst of a significant roster overhaul after losing seven of the eight players who contributed during their NCAA Tournament run, which concluded with a 79-77 loss to Purdue in the Sweet 16. Punch joins former Colorado guard Isaiah Johnson as part of the team's efforts to rebuild. The Longhorns are focusing on filling remaining gaps in their lineup, particularly in the wing position and guard depth, as they prepare for the upcoming season.
