AUSTIN, Texas -- What is Tom Herman inheriting as the new coach at Texas? Well, for starters, it is a far more attractive job today than it was three years ago thanks to the recruiting and roster-building efforts of Charlie Strong and his staff. With the young talent hes leaving for Herman, this is no rebuild.About a month ago, Strong made a claim thats worth assessing again: No matter who coaches Texas in 2017, theyll win 10 games.Because this is Texas, it makes perfect sense to saddle the new coach with lofty and borderline unfair expectations before his first day on the job. But the next staff is taking over a team primed to play for Big 12 titles again soon.The cake has been baked, Strong said Friday after his final game. The only thing you need to do now is put the icing on it and slice it.Just look at the depth chart. Texas underclassmen have accumulated 109 starts on offense and 112 starts on defense in the past two years. The starting lineup for the final game of Strongs tenure featured only four seniors. Its still a young team whose players didnt come close to reaching their potential during another losing season.The consecutive top-10 recruiting classes that Strong and his staff signed make up the core of the roster going into 2017. Those 50-plus players have logged a significant number of snaps in two seasons, so the Longhorns 2017 and 2018 teams ought to be loaded with experienced talent.Texas finally has a quarterback, and Shane Buechele had more ups than downs during his true freshman campaign while throwing for 2,958 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Theres another elite arm on the way, local product Sam Ehlinger, an ESPN 300 early enrollee.The Longhorns have absolutely restocked up front during Strongs three years. They have an All-America-caliber left tackle, Connor Williams, and an offensive line that showed growth and built depth in 2016. Eight offensive linemen who have starting experience are expected back next season.On the defensive line, the Longhorns have a pair of pass-rushing future stars, Malcolm Roach and Breckyn Hager, among their seven returning players who have started games.The defense Strong put himself in charge of for his final eight games has four big-time linebackers: Malik Jefferson, Edwin Freeman, Anthony Wheeler and Jeffrey McCulloch. In the secondary, nine players who have earned starts are set to come back.Herman will surely try to persuade 2,000-yard rusher DOnta Foreman to return for his senior season, but the departure of Strong and the allure of being a high draft pick (potentially late first-round or to mid-second-round) will be difficult to overcome. Foreman feels hes NFL-ready, and after watching what he accomplished in 11 games this season, its hard to dispute that.But Texas has another young power back to build around, Chris Warren III, when he gets healthy, along with seven returning receivers who caught at least 18 passes this season.Youd sure like to be here a year from now, offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert said after the loss to TCU. Theres a huge, huge bright future here.And Hermans staff will have plenty of time to keep building before signing day. Texas is expected to take around 20 signees, and only seven players are currently committed (five are ESPN 300 prospects). Between the recruits currently committed to Houston and the states top uncommitted players, filling out the rest of the class shouldnt be a problem.With all those pieces coming in place, its not hard to understand why even a 7-5 season likely wouldve been enough to buy Strong one more year. In his final week on the job, he acknowledged there are plenty of reasons to be excited about Texas future. The foundation has been built.Does it all add up to Texas contending for a Big 12 title in Hermans first season? Its not easy to size up the rest of the conference heading into next year, nor has the Big 12 even released its 2017 schedule. But we do know Texas makes a trip to USC on Sept. 16, an early-season challenge that should help set the tone for the rest of Hermans Year 1.The expectations are always high at Texas. Herman knows that. The Texas hes taking over is especially optimistic about whats coming next.Yeah, its coming, and thats whats going to be fun, Strong said Monday. This group of guys is going to win a national championship. I said it to them. That group of guys will win a national championship. And I feel that strong about that statement. Tony Phillips Jersey .

There arent that many games across the NBA on Tuesday night, but that wont stop us from providing our expert picks and fades for the daily fantasy slate. Renee Miller, Joe Kaiser and Al Zeidenfeld provide top plays and likely busts for the six-game evening.Players to build aroundRenee Miller -- Kyrie Irving, Cleveland CavaliersWhile people run to roster Damian Lillard, who is also in a great spot tonight, Irving could fly slightly under the radar. The Cavs are big favorites at home against an Atlanta team that has allowed more fantasy points to opposing point guards than any other team so far this season. Coming off a terrible night against Philadelphia, Irving has otherwise been very consistent. Hes yet to have a monster game and I like the idea of rostering him at his discounted salary.Joe Kaiser -- J.J. Barea, Dallas MavericksDeron Williams will miss tonights game and that will allow Barea the opportunity to play big minutes on Tuedsay against the Lakers. The veteran point guard went for 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal in 46 minutes as Dallas picked up its first win of the season on Sunday against Milwaukee, and hes too good a value to pass up at $6,000 or less on both DraftKings and FanDuel.Al Zeidenfeld -- LeBron James, Cleveland CavaliersLeBron has been smashing value in most of his games this season, averaging 52.1 DraftKings points with a low game of 40 fantasy points. Being a major contributor in three categories with a combined 42.3 PRA average (points plus rebounds plus assists) gives him one of the highest floors on daily fantasy on a nightly basis. The Cavs are rolling and an engaged LeBron James playing over 35 minutes per game is the main reason. Theres no reason to not play him on the short slate tonnight.ddddddddddddPlayers to fadeRenee Miller -- Anthony Davis, New Orleans PelicansIm not a fan of paying top dollar -- by a lot -- for Davis on the road in a back-to-back tonight. There are so many players I like in that second pricing tier that are impossible to use alongside Davis. His road stats are notably worse in several categories, and at his current salary needs around 55 fantasy points to reach value. Hes a great player, dont get me wrong, but for DFS I like to pick my spots before selling the farm to afford Davis.Joe Kaiser -- Dennis Schroder, Atlanta HawksFor the price, I prefer Barea to Schroder on a night when the Hawks have to play Cleveland on the road. It doesnt get tougher than that in the Eastern Conference. On top of that, the Cavs rank among the top five teams in the league in terms of limiting DFS points to point guards this season. Schroder is too risky at his price point for me to consider him tonight.Al Zeidenfeld -- Dwight Howard, Atlanta HawksDwight Howard will, as always, have a very solid raw score projection tonight, but at his price point theres no reason to invest. At center there are other high salary options to pay for as well as players who provide a very similar points per dollar projections who provide a better chance for profit on salary spent. Ill find another night to play Howard.Al Zeidenfeld is a promoter & user at DraftKings (Username: Al_Smizzle) and plays on his personal account in games he offers advice on.
