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.

The Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team gained a new member with the Lauren Ebo transfer. How does she fit onto this team?
New Texas women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer hasn’t been on the job very long but he has already started working on his roster for the future. Lauren Ebo announced through social media that she is leaving State College, Pennsylvania for the Forty Acres.
A new opportunity. God is the greatest! #HookEm 🤘🏽🖤 pic.twitter.com/JQa3zdLaYO
— Lauren-Jenee Ebo🥀 (@laurenneboo) April 13, 2020
The Washington DC native provided 5.3 points per game for the Nittany Lions during the 2019-20 season in 20.3 minutes per game. Should she be deemed immediately eligible to play, she will try and help fill a void left by the departure of senior Joyner Holmes. Ebo is subject to the NCAA transfer guidelines that could require her to sit out next season unless she is granted a waiver.
This marks the second Penn State player to come to Austin. Karisma Ortiz also made the move to go from the Lady Lions to the Longhorns. Ortiz will be eligible to play the first season under new coach Schaefer. The new coach still has work to do as he tries to rebuild the program back up but Schaefer isn’t letting these current times to deter him from getting started.
Provided that Ebo can play in the upcoming season, she would likely see plenty of minutes next to Charli Collier as the forward duo. Not to mention the incoming class that features Elyssa Coleman of Humble and Precious Johnson of Baytown.

Vic Schaefer is a Texas native that was born in Houston. He comes in with a rather impressive resume that should give Longhorn fans some excitement in regards to their new leader of the program.
Given what Schaefer has been able to accomplish, this should raise some eyebrows down in Waco, Texas. This is obviously a power move for the Longhorns as they look to steal state bragging rights away from the Baylor Bears who have owned the Big 12 Conference since Kim Mulkey arrived.
It won’t be immediate but given time, Schaefer should be able to close the gap and bring prominence back to the Forty Acres. The Texas Longhorns women’s team is still in search of their first National Championship since 1986 and first Final Four appearance since 2003.
