“I want to take this time to thank head coach RT and the entire Texas coaching staff for their consideration, I would also like to thank Longhorn Nation for all their love and support,” Holland said. ”While this has been a difficult process, I have decided to decommit from (the) University of Texas and re-open my recruitment. Texas will remain one of my top schools of choice.”
Holland, a 6-foot-8, 195-pounder from Duncanville, was ranked as the No. 6 player in the country according to the On3 Industry Ranking. On3 ranked Holland as the No. 14 player.
After Holland’s decommitment and AJ Johnson’s decision to play professional basketball overseas, Texas now has no players committed or signed in its 2023 class.
Scouting Summary
It is the motor for Holland; that is what you notice first. He has good positional size, but it is how hard he plays – on both ends – that gets people talking. Holland has performed at the highest levels, with Team USA, on Nike’s EYBL circuit, and at Duncanville High. Coming into his junior season, the question mark was the skill set; he has shown some improvement. While the jump shot is still below average, he can use the dribble to get downhill, and he’s developed confidence in his pull-up jumper. Holland is great in transition; he plays above the rim and has the upside to be an excellent defender – both on and off the ball. Production and winning that is what he has done for a while. — Jamie Shaw, On3 national recruiting analyst
