The Texas Longhorns have turned out to be one of the top contenders to the Final Four. The 1986 NCAA champions have been making some serious noise in the Big 12 this season after their impressive win over UConn. Evidently, Vic Schaefer has compiled some of the best-talented players in his squad. However, one star in his team is shining a little brighter.

Rori Harman has been one of the players to watch out for post-headlining their epic win. Following this, everyone is excited to know more about this potential candidate for this season’s national player of the year title in the Longhorns’ roster.

Rori Harman attracts some spotlight

Rori Harman bagged the sixth spot in the latest WCBB Top 25 player ranking. The fact that she is among the top 10 players in the country rightly justifies all the hype around her. The junior point guard first came to everyone’s attention when Schaefer asked her to switch from the defensive front and be on the offense against the Huskies. Following this, Rori made full use of this opportunity and delivered an impactful double-double. Harman finished her outing with 27 points and 13 assists and became the first player in 25 seasons to score 25 points and 10 assists against UConn. As a result, the Longhorns got the better of UConn for the first time in program history.

Head coach Vic Schaefer has earlier expressed his admiration for the talented No. 3. Praising Harman he said, “Ain’t nobody on our team play harder than Rori Harmon. She brings that to the table every day, every practice, every game, and that’s what impacts our team in such a positive way.” Rori Harman has gained the reputation of being one of the best perimeter defenders in the country. In addition to this, her mental toughness and specific aspects of offense are a nightmare to her opponents. Clearly, her maturity and dedication are the reasons behind her evolution as a player.
