Returning 100% of their production next season, Texas is going to be one of the most experienced teams in the country next season. Shaka Smart could be looking to add experience, bringing in a transfer.
Sophomore Alan Griffin is leaving Illinois after two full seasons in Champaign. The guard from Ossining, NY has narrowed his list down to six schools, with Texas making the cut. Other power conference members Miami, Syracuse, Iowa State, and Arizona join the Longhorns, while mid-major school Dayton is also in the mix.

Griffin improved greatly from his freshman year, averaging 8.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. His three-point percentage went up 11%, shooting 41% on the year.
If he were to transfer to Texas, Griffin would add to a loaded roster the Longhorns have at guard. He would join Coleman, Jones, and Ramey, and create incredible depth for the 2020-2021 season.
