Seems like we have good reason to have a thread to chat on all summer and through the season. 
 

Team workouts begin June 1, I believe

What school has been the closest to completing the trifecta?  I think Florida in the 2006-07 college athletics season nearly pulled it off, but don't remember how their baseball team did that season.

Many of these rankings are nuts. Arkansas doesn't have a legitimate 4 or 5 on their roster. Kansas doesn't have a proven player on their roster.

Will all the players be there? I remember Mark missing a couple of years ago, because he was still taking classes at Arkansas.

When will Texas take advantage of taking one of those summer tours playing exhibitions vs pro teams? Calipari seemed to take one every chance he got at least while he was at Kentucky. Meanwhile, I can only recall Texas doing it once in 2017 with the Mo Bamba team under Shaka that went to Australia. I believe we can do one every 4 years yet we've only done one in the last 24 years. One would think in the age of the portal that this would help speed up the development of team chemistry and camaraderie.

Good Q. I'll ask if it's something Miller ever plans to entertain at UT

Not 2026-7 related but could be relevant for future

Assuming they’re all one and done at Texas, you could have Isaiah Johnson, Beckham Black, and Tai Bell in a three season span.
