Shortly after the Texas Longhorns lost 2021 signee Emarion Ellis to Shaka Smart and the Marquette Golden Eagles, new head coach Chris Beard landed the first of many transfers necessary to field a full roster this fall with the addition of former Kentucky Wildcats guard Devin Askew, according to 247Sports.
A former consensus four-star prospect out of California who signed with Kentucky in the 2020 recruiting class, Askew was ranked as the No. 32 player nationally and the No. 7 point guard, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He chose the Wildcats over offers from the likes of Arizona, Kansas, Louisville, Oregon, Texas, and Texas Tech.

Will Chris Beard return to the Forty Acres?
Since Shaka Smart left the Texas Longhorns for the Marquette Golden Eagles last Friday, that question has largely defined the coaching search in Austin for athletics director Chris Del Conte.
Over recent days, there’s been a remarkable lack of information coming out from the Longhorns program and the Red Raiders program.
Other than Del Conte interviewing Brooklyn Nets assistant Royal Ivey on Sunday and the initial positive connections between Beard and Texas on Friday, things have largely remained quiet.
