Gaston changes mind and heads to Texas
The past few weeks have been exciting for Coach Vic Schaefer since being named the head coach at Texas after turning the Mississippi State program into a powerhouse, I guess a couple on National Championship finals qualifies that and I couldn’t be happier for his success as we go way back, he was the assistant coach at Texas A&M for many years including the four my daughter, Sydney Colson, played there and that included four straight NCAA appearances, multiple Sweet 16’s an Elite 8 and of course a National Championship but he and assistant coach Johnnie Harris, also at Texas A&M during that time frame as well as Maryann Baker, Director Of Women’s Basketball Operations, Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year as a senior and my daughter’s roommate but just a great group of people that I truly enjoyed immensely but moving forward

Gaston is one the most electrifying players in Texas, she’s an athletic phenom and a nightmare to defend and this is huge, to say the least
