Sean Miller has struck again. Texas Longhorns basketball has landed its third transfer portal commitment of the window and it's a big one. Literally.
7-foot center Matas Vokietaitis has announced he will transfer to UT from Florida Atlantic. At FAU, the Lithuanian native was named American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Vokietaitis joins Xavier forward Dailyn Swain and Purdue forward Camden Heide as Miller's three transfer portal commitments.
Longhorns guard Chendall Weaver, guard Tramon Mark and guard Jordan Pope have all announced they will stay at Texas for next season. BREAKING: FAU big man Matas Vokietaitis has committed to the University of Texas.The 7-foot Lithuanian was named AAC Freshman of the Year, where he averaged 10.
2 PPG, and 5.5 RPG this past season.#Hookem | @orangebloods_pic.

4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game as a freshman for the Owls. The center has a high ceiling, but his rebounding numbers are low for a player of his size.
One thing Miller's staff will focus on, no doubt.Offense is where the big man shines. The 245 pounder uses a mix of cuts, post-ups and pick-and-rolls, becoming an efficient scorer.
