Senior center Clint Chapman enters the 2011-12 season as the Longhorns' tallest player. At 6'10", the product of Canby, Oregon may very well see more minutes than he has in 4 previous years at Texas. Chapman chose to redshirt last season and hopes to build upon what has to date been a disappointing stay in Austin. At worst each game this season, Chapman will provide 5 fouls worth of laying a big body on an opponent's most taxing inside presence. At best, he will block a couple shots, grab clutch rebounds, and score a few baskets creatively. Then again, Chapman might just need to step out of the way of freshmen forwards Jaylen Bond and Jonathan Holmes slashing to the hoop. However large or small Chapman's role becomes, coach Rick Barnes will expect nothing but quality appearances from his senior big man...
