Kentucky, Memphis, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Texas and Oregon were all interested in the Longhorns at one point.

Holland'sVersatility is the first thing that makes him stand out.

He can score while attacking the basket and defend multiple positions with his length and athletic ability. His ability to crash the glass may be his greatest strength, according to Brandon.

Rob Cassidy of Rivals quotes him as saying that he worked with his high school coach and his AAU coach on it. I was working on a lot of things. I worked on ball handling.

If Holland can consistently hit from the outside, he will establish himself as a starter for Texas during his freshman season.
