More: March Madness: Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda leads Texas into Sweet 16 showdown with Tennessee Properly quantifying Holle's impact on Texas is difficult despite her being the program's all-time winningest player She's the kind of culture setter who holds a locker room together off the court and perfectly performs her role on it even if it means sacrificing personal statistics Hole was a team-high +19 in plus/minus despite recording only six points but Holle has done everything properly since stepping foot on campus It's a quality UT forward Aaliyah Moore has appreciated even since their EYBL days when Moore rocked high school braids and Holle a side part "You could even say she's one of the reasons a small part of the reason why I wanted to come here," Moore said "I wanted to play with someone like Shay .. I'm just really proud that I was able to see her growth." How will Texas basketball replace Shay Holle?So how does Texas replace Holle once the season ends and her college eligibility evaporates you try your best to make sure she doesn't leave in the first place but that might be the best recruiting job I could ever do if I ever get her You know I'm always trying to hire people smarter than me." More: Why Shay Holle, UT women's basketball's all-time leader in games played, is a dying breed appreciative of the offer but not having thought much about diving into the possibility of coaching basketball She's lived in Austin for her entire life and spoke about leaving her comfort zone after graduation to foster personal growth she's confident in the next wave of Longhorns that will lead the team to the future Holle specifically mentioned freshman guard Jordan Lee another player whose contributions lack tangibility but are integral to Texas' makeup has a smile on her face and brings good vibes nicely — she's already doing it with me," Holle said and she can maximize it by leading Texas to a national championship But even if the senior does leave after graduation she wouldn't mind returning to Austin eventually Perhaps she'll take Schaefer up on his offer "Maybe we'll circle back when that time comes," she said See more of Caleb Yum's work here and follow him on X.

Holle said and she was so stressed out just to go to practice I've seen myself grow from that to now where it just feels so comfortable."  Shay went to Westlake High School where she played for the women's basketball team and competed in track and field she was named espnW HoopGurlz' 26th player at the guard position and earned two titles as a District 25-6A Most Valuable Player she was named the Austin American-Statesman's All-Centex Player of the Year historically becoming Westlake's second student to receive the honor where she would undoubtedly become an integral player on the women's basketball team "I've really been able to lean on her the last couple years," women's basketball head coach, Vic Schaefer she went from being probably our third option defensively when we were making out a game plan to being our number one defender." Shay now holds the program record for games played in the NCAA Era and will be recognized for the record at the Texas home game on Dec With eight wins for Texas she will become the winningest player in program history which is exactly what I want and why I know I'm in the right place," Holle said which I think is a really good spot to be in."  Not only has Shay spent her years at UT being dedicated to the team but she has worked equally as hard in her studies She completed her undergraduate studies in the McCombs School of Business with a degree in finance she was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team an honor for players who succeed both academically and athletically she works to earn her master's degree in strategic communication at the Moody College of Communication and I would love to stay around sports," Holle said  "I don't necessarily think I want to be a coach but I think just being on the business side of sports or like a general manager of an arena or entertainment Schaefer believes she is destined for a career of coaching "I'm going to fight like hell to keep her out of the business section and keep her in coaching," Schaefer said 'you're going to be a coach,' and she laughs and her parents laughed at me when I said that to her Shay's success isn't the only thing that is guaranteed She has also gained a lifelong sisterhood with her fellow teammates who have deemed her as the 'mom' of the team "She's always the mom on our team," sophomore forward Madison Booker said "For summer and a little bit during school Shay got our outfits together and she sent in the group chat Shay naturally stepped into a leadership role but she also radiates a positive attitude that transfers over to her teammates "She just shows up every single day with a smile on her face, always positive, always going to be a leader," said senior forward Taylor Jones who was also roommates with Holle for two years "I think that really has affected a lot of us on the team Just seeing her show up every single day is a very positive light that we all need Skills, smarts and a smile are a winning combination for Shay Holle it is clear that her mark will be left on the Longhorns for good I don't think I've ever seen her have a bad day," Schaefer said she never lets anybody else in the gym know it You're talking about one of the all time great kids in my career."  Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so

Now those rumors have been confirmed in some adorable social media posts on both Wilson and Holle’s Instagram accounts the two are posed with Holle’s shiba inu It was posted with the Sade song “Your Love is King.” Wilson shared the photo on his account There are a few other photos that dropped hints without the confirmation including a picture of them making a heart with their hands with Wilson wearing a “Shay Holle” hat That photo was captioned “Grateful.” In another “When two halves make a whole.” The initial dating rumors began back in September 2024 when the two were seen watching the US Open together While Wilson was originally born in Chicago and lived in Ohio he moved to Texas and attended Lake Travis High School Holle went to Westlake High School in Austin In an interview earlier this year Holle shared that she recalls seeing Wilson play basketball in high school mentioned that he saw Wilson arriving at a kids’ day game Recek asked if he earned bonus points for attending that kind of event to see her I felt like I needed headphones because it gets so loud in there I can’t imagine what it sounds like actually being in the crowd.” The 2024-25 season was Holle’s last in burnt orange While her coach said she’d like to keep her on as a coach Holle said she isn’t ready to commit to something like that yet She said she’s been in Austin her whole life and might choose to move elsewhere to foster her own personal growth where she and Wilson can continue to grow their relationship Editor’s note: Follow South Carolina vs. Texas live updates from the Final Four “Shay is like

her defense Leading defender Rori Harmon had torn her ACL and was out for the rest of the season Schaefer needed someone to step up and become the Longhorns’ best defensive player “She and I would have never dreamed that would happen two years before that Holle also became a leading defender in her conference making the Big 12 All-Defensive Team last season Holle has the mindset of finding joy in whatever role she needs to fill for her team “To be able to go to the Final Four with Coach Schaefer my last year “This is something I will remember forever Popi Márquez is a student in the University of Georgia's  Sports Media Certificate program Shay Holle made her way to the bench with a smile on her face after checking out for the last time As Texas' season ended Friday against South Carolina with a 74-57 in the Final Four, so did Holle's time as a Longhorn Earlier this season, she achieved the milestone of becoming the winningest player in program history, something the Austin native never imagined she always imagined playing for the University of Texas and in five years Holle came to Texas at the same time as head coach Vic Schaefer But she wanted to play for Texas and that's what she did Texas Longhorns guard Shay Holle (10) leave the court after loosing to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the NCAA Playoff semi-final game at Amalie Arena in Tampa / Sara Diggins/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images"Shay's been with me every day the last five years," Schaefer said "I don't know what it's going to be like walking in the gym next year and Shay Holle ain't in there Schaefer raved about Holle for close to five minutes who had just as much to say about him and her time in a Texas jersey it's been such a blessing being on this team," Holle said "That's the best word for it is just a blessing because not only are they obviously incredible basketball players but just all of them are such good people and such good friends to me "I couldn't have asked for a better last year going to the Final Four with Coach Schaefer and this group and seeing the work that we put in every single day and just the program that he's built since five years ago Schaefer said that if he could keep Holle around as a coach the pair brought Texas back to the top of college basketball somewhere it once was as one of the premier programs in sport While Holle didn't score any points in her final game something she's been known for doing all season Texas Longhorns guard Shay Holle (10) during the NCAA semi-final game against the South Carolina Gamecocks at Amalie Arena in Tampa / Sara Diggins/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images"When you get the one who walks into the gym with a smile on their face is accountable for everything and anything You don't forget those kind of kids," Schaefer said about Holle Holle reached three Elite Eights and one Final Four in five years and won five conference championships She's set this program up for success and will be present when Texas gets back to the Final Four stage "I'll be in the stands when that happens I'll always have a lot of pride in being a Longhorn she hasn't

habit not to lose consecutive games, and that stayed true Thursday night Facing Schaefer's former lieutenant Johnnie Harris Texas bounced back from a disappointing loss to defeat unranked Auburn 74-57 UT is now 17-2 with a 4-1 mark in conference play The Longhorns were humbled last Sunday, losing 67-50 to No. 2 South Carolina. The newcomers in the SEC faced a hard truth: the Gamecocks still run the conference "I don't know if it's the response that I really but it was good enough today," Schaefer said in Thursday's postgame presser The win was a milestone for Texas guard Shay Holle, who became the program's all-time winningest player in the NCAA era collected three rebounds and made an assist but her contributions go far beyond the numbers More: Why Shay Holle, UT women's basketball's all-time leader in games played, is a dying breed It wasn't the smoothest win for the Longhorns Texas jumped out to a double-digit lead by the time the first quarter ended and it led by as many as 26 points through the second and third quarters Texas forward Madison Booker had a strong first half after a disappointing performance against South Carolina making four of her first five shots and four of five free throws for 17 points the Longhorns' offense wilted in the fourth quarter The bench finished the game with six points and the lead shrunk to 14 with four minutes left Schaefer was forced to keep his starters in for the entirety of the fourth quarter to maintain the lead not what you think you'd see from a mature team got exactly what we wanted," Schaefer said HUFF TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME: Texas football's Michael Huff is headed to the College Football Hall of Fame | Golden teaching and getting them ready," Schaefer said Auburn was led in scoring by post DeYona Gaston who transferred from Texas this past offseason Gaston scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting but she was completely boxed out on the boards Texas post Taylor Jones had 15 points and seven rebounds six assists and four rebounds on 7-of-14 shooting for the Tigers Texas women's basketball comfortably defeated Southern University 97-39 on Wednesday night They shot 50.9% from the field with senior Taylor Jones and sophomore Madison Booker leading the team in scoring Meanwhile, fifth-year senior Shay Holle put up two points She's been in a slump from distance to start the year shooting 27% compared to the 37.6% mark she had in the 2023-24 season More: Texas basketball: Jordan Lee shines while Rori Harmon makes history against James Madison Holle has never been billed as a leading scorer A gold member of the "do the little things" club her ability to adapt to the situation is how she became the program's all-time leader in games played She reached the milestone after playing versus Notre Dame but was honored on Wednesday in Moody Center "It's been an honor for me to have her in our program and to watch her invest in her game and learn a new position." Nothing was given to Holle. Initially recruited by former Texas coach Karen Aston, the Westlake product had no relationship with Schaefer as a freshman Holle earned more and more of Schaefer's trust until she became known as the locker room "mom." Having a veteran like Holle around was indispensable to Booker who was thrust into the spotlight her freshman year after Harmon went down with an injury when you've been with like a coach for five years I know what he wants done and how he wants it done and I know what it feels like to be a freshman .. it's really nerve-wracking and it's stressful So I just want to try to help them out as much as I can because I obviously know how it feels," Holle said A dying breedHolle is a player Schaefer describes as a "dying breed" in the era of the transfer portal With money flying around and opportunities for increased playing time and expanded roles athletes looking to maximize their brief college careers are switching schools at an alarming rate when free schooling was the main plus to a collegiate athletics career Holle doesn't criticize the usage of NIL — it's a tremendous opportunity for her and her peers — it's simply not something she likes to rely upon not necessarily something that would make me leave or go somewhere else," Holle said There are good reasons to use the transfer portals But Holle's experience and impact on the younger Texas players is what will hold Schaefer's program together in the future always being right there for me," Booker said it's just the little things that Shay does." Holle is an Austin native and made the decision to come back for her fifth year after Texas fell in the Elite Eight This season she averages 6.5 points per game "It's crazy," Holle told Roger Wallace of KXAN after the game. "Growing up in Austin and wanting to come (to Texas) and being able to hold that record is something that I never thought would happen so it's really surreal to be in that moment USA; Texas Longhorns guard Shay Holle (10) shoots the ball during the game against Arkansas at Moody Center Martinez/USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images / Aaron E Martinez/USA TODAY Network via Imagn ImagesHolle comes from an athletic family as her dad played college football at the University of Texas and her mom played college softball at Angelo State Both of her sisters played college basketball at Texas State The 6-foot guard received several accolades last season as she was named to the All-Big 12 Defensive Team and received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors in the 2024 season she was named to the All-Big 12 Academic First Team Texas' win over Auburn was the 151st game Holle played at Texas and 73rd start the Longhorns are 60-13 and her all time record in the Burnt Orange is 126-34 All of her Texas games have been played under head coach Vic Schaefer With the Longhorns she has played in and won two Big 12 Conference Championship games and four NCAA tournaments Now Holle looks to be an impact player for Texas in her final season and is a key part of a team that is national championship hopeful Holle will next take the floor with Texas on Monday against No 8 Maryland in the Coretta Scott King Classic Subscribe to our YouTube Page HERE You can follow us for future coverage by subscribing to our newsletter here. Also, be sure to like us on Facebook @LonghornsCountryOnSI & follow us on Twitter at @LonghornsSI MORE: Texas Longhorns' Vic Schaefer 'Extremely Disappointed' With Treatment of Kyla Oldacre MORE: Texas Longhorns Lose Tight End to NCAA Transfer Portal MORE: Way-Too-Early 2025 Texas Longhorns Projected Offensive Depth Chart MORE: Everything Jordan Pope and Rodney Terry Said After Win vs. Oklahoma Sooners MORE: No. 7 Texas Leans on Veterans in Dominant Win vs. Auburn In its only exhibition game, the Texas women's basketball team rolled to a 98-25 win over UT-Tyler at Moody Center on Thursday night Leading the way for Texas in the 73-point blowout was senior forward Taylor Jones who registered 14 points and nine rebounds Freshman Bryanna Preston added 13 points while Madison Booker Rori Harmon and Kyla Oldacre all contributed double-digit scoring efforts against an overmatched Division II opponent But perhaps the biggest news to come out of Thursday was announced just before the game started Texas opened its exhibition with a starting lineup that featured Harmon Michigan transfer Laila Phelia also started The inclusion of Phelia, a senior guard who led Michigan in scoring last season in the starting lineup meant that fifth-year senior Shay Holle had a reserve role against the Patriots Holle still played nearly 17 minutes and scored five points UT coach Vic Schaefer wouldn't say if this is the starting lineup that he'll use all season but he did believe it was a "luxury" to bring Holle off the bench Holle has ended each of the past three years in the Longhorns' starting lineup and she played a school-record 1,241 minutes last season The six-foot Austin native is arguably UT's top 3-point shooter and she earned a spot on the Big 12's all-defensive team last season Even though the two are conceivably competing for playing time Holle shared this week that she has a "good relationship" with Phelia Holle said it is important for her to be a resource for her new teammate She also added that both players are versatile so Schaefer could potentially play them alongside each other "I have so much respect for her because she came from a system that she was definitely comfortable in she was that star player that they look to her for almost everything Leaving a situation like that and coming here where she knows there are a lot of playmakers Continued Holle: "I know she's super uncomfortable I think anytime someone puts themselves in a position to grow and be uncomfortable I'm always going to help them out in the most way I can I think that's what makes good teams great is when it's a good competitiveness We're not comparing ourselves against each other but we're getting each other better every day in practice Coach is going to put us in the best position to win you should be happy with whatever that looks like."

Laura Kelly has granted clemency to seven people including pardons of five people who long ago completed their sentences and commuted sentences for two incarcerated people The case of a newborn child murder by a teenage mother — which brought attention to the Kansas safe haven law — is the most high profile Records show that some pardons were for crime committed decades ago for which the sentences have long since been served the case was a child sex crime where the victim and the perpetrator were both teenagers "Granting commutations and pardons is not something I take lightly," Kelly said in a statement "By vetting numerous applications through a careful and thorough process it was determined that these individuals have demonstrated their commitment to making amends and positively contributing to society "In cases where a disproportionally harsh sentence is imposed or a miscarriage of justice exists commutation can be a tool to ensure reasonable action and a fairer sentence In extraordinary cases where the criminal justice system failed to account for mitigating factors surrounding an individual's alleged crime throughout the legal process commutations can give a second chance to individuals experiencing incomprehensible circumstances at the time of their offense." Not included in the seven clemency cases is that of Sarah Gonzales-McLinn who is in prison for killing a Lawrence man who allegedly raped her repeatedly The governor's office has said that her clemency request is under review Kelly has now granted clemency to 15 people in her time in office.

AUSTIN, Texas — Shay Holle showed up to the University of Texas at Austin back in 2020, not sure how her college career would play out. “I thought I was just going to be the team player, the culture kid to just go to work and have a smile on their face, which I’d like to think I still am,” Holle said. “It definitely turned into a lot more than I could have ever dreamed about for sure.” Holle has turned into a starter the past few seasons on one of the best teams in college basketball. She’s been on good teams for all five years at UT and has won a lot of games. Recently, she became the Texas basketball player between both men’s or women’s teams with the most wins in school history. She reached the mark at 126 in the Longhorns victory at Auburn. She’s hoping this current Texas team will be the one to get the program back to the Final Four and possibly a national title. “We know what we’re capable of and we just need to find that consistency piece now,” Holle said. “We’ve shown it in a few games just how impactful we can be.” The senior from Westlake High School is enjoying all the moments along the way in her last season of college basketball.  “It has felt a little different going into every practice and every game being like I wonder how many more of these I have left,” says Holle. “I try to have that be positive, like every day just give it my best. It’s a lot of lasts for me and gives me that extra push.” Holle has helped Texas get off to a 20-2 record this season and has the Longhorns ranked No. 5 in the country. the senior is set to play her final home game as a Longhorn and all of the emotions are at the forefront of her mind It has been five years since guard Shay Holle committed to the Texas Longhorns after playing high school basketball just a few miles down the road grew up about 15 minutes from the Moody Center where Texas plays its home games including an NCAA Tournament berth at the end of every season In her final home game of her collegiate career Holle and the Longhorns faced the Illinois Fighting Illini in the Round of 32 and the senior guard felt "bittersweet" about the matchup it's definitely going to be a weird feeling I've really seen them grow and they've seen me grow I'll definitely be reflecting on a lot That's our @shayholle15 🥹#HookEm | @TexasWBB pic.twitter.com/5VGD6h57Jb Holle became the winningest Longhorn in program history with the "most all-time wins in Texas NCAA history."
