The Texas Longhorns newest member was originally going to attend Mississippi State. Four-star forward flips to Texas to play for Schaefer.
The news has been fast and furious when it comes to the Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team as of late. After securing Vic Schaefer to run the program, he brought in transfers from Penn State and Duke. When there are changes in staffing, usually recruiting changes come with that. Deyona Gaston who was originally set to join Mississippi State has decided to follow Schaefer and remain in her home state of Texas.

Gaston is a 6’3″ forward from Pearland, Texas. According to ESPN recruiting, she is a four-star and top 100 prospect. This is a huge commitment for the Longhorns who are looking to replace what they lost with the senior class now moving on. She is an athletic glass cleaner who plays the four spot on the floor. She will fit in quite nicely with Charli Collier.
It is fair to say that new head coach Vic Schaefer is hitting the ground running in his first month on the job. The Texas women’s program looks like it has a bright future and should be a fun to watch in the very near future.

Holmes will now head to the pacific northwest and join the Seattle Storm. The Storm’s roster is quite loaded with talent including 16-year veteran Sue Bird. Holmes will join a forward group that also includes Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck who played their college ball at UConn. She will have quite the challenge to make the team once their season gets rolling.
