MEN’S BASKETBALL
AUBURN: Auburn’s top signee from last year, center Yohan Traore, plans to transfer.
The five-star recruit from France, who played a limited role as a freshman, announced his plans in an Instagram post.
The 6-foot-10 Traore initially committed to LSU but landed at Auburn after the firing of Coach Will Wade a little more than a year ago. He was rated the No. 24 overall recruit and No. 5 center according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
TEXAS: Rodney Terry held Texas together in crisis. Then he took the Longhorns on their deepest NCAA Tournament run in 15 years. His reward: Texas removed the “interim” tag from his title and made him the full-time head coach.
“I felt confident the whole time to be honest with you,” Terry said at his news conference, where the former assistant was introduced as head coach. “I’d prepared my whole life for this opportunity.”
Texas officials put Terry in charge when Chris Beard initially was suspended, then fired, midseason after a felony domestic violence arrest.
He’d been a Texas assistant for a decade under Rick Barnes before head-coaching stints at Fresno State and UTEP, before returning to the Longhorns as an assistant in 2021.
