Texas Forward Nic Codie Enters NCAA Transfer Portal

The sophomore's decision highlights roster churn for Sean Miller after Codie's late-season rise into the rotation.

Overview

Texas sophomore forward Nic Codie has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to reporter Pete Nakos relayed by the Transfer Portal account.
Codie told reporters after the loss to Purdue that he would be back at Texas next season, which makes this reversal notable so soon after the tournament.
He boosted his profile in March Madness with 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists across three games, including 12 points against Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.
He played 43 games across two years with career marks near 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds, while this season he averaged 4.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 15.8 minutes after stepping in when Lassina Traore injured his knee.
He is the first Longhorn to hit the portal this offseason, and Texas still projects six frontcourt players next year, including starters Matas Vokietaitis and Cam Heide.
