Roster Housekeeping
Pending the House v. NCAA settlement approval, the roster limit for men’s basketball moves from 13 scholarship players to 15 scholarship players to make up a 15-man roster. How that affects walk-ons like McDermott and Clark is not yet clear.
If all but Bott return for the 2025-26 season, and if Clark follows through on his letter of intent, Texas would have six roster spots available.
