The Inside Texas Basketball Show covers significant updates on the Texas Longhorns basketball program, with a particular focus on recent recruiting developments for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. The discussion centers on the addition of Declan Duru, a highly athletic, versatile power forward from Real Madrid, who brings size, shooting, and defensive flexibility to Texas’s frontcourt. Analysts highlight his potential impact, athleticism, and the depth he adds to an already strong big man rotation. They also examine Texas’ ongoing efforts to bolster their guard rotation, which remains a priority despite a strong frontcourt.

The hosts detail several official visits scheduled for top guard and wing prospects for the 2026 recruiting class, emphasizing Texas’s aggressive national recruiting approach, including players from California, the East Coast, and the Southwest. The show also briefly touches on recruiting strategy, explaining that unlike football, basketball recruiting is more flexible, and the focus will be on adding impactful guards and wings to complement their big men.
