    The Texas Longhorns are headed to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth year in a row.
    Texas (20-12) was just announced on CBS as the No. 7 seed in the Midwest Region. 
    The Longhorns will face the winner of Virginia and Colorado State in the  No. 10 seed play in game.
    The Round of 64 game will take place Thursday in Charlotte, N.C. 
    The winner of the Midwest Region No. 7 vs No. 10 Round of 64 game will face the winner of No. 2 seed Tennessee and No. 15 seed St. Peter’s Saturday. 
    The Longhorns advanced to the Elite 8 last year.

    Sark's ultimate recruiting class
    Steve Sarkisian and staff have signed three straight top 5 classes headed into the 2025 cycle.
    That string of success means Texas has signed multiple four-star ranked prospects at every position, and top 300 nationally ranked prospects overall at every position. There must also be enough five-star's signed in each class to finish in the top 5. And then there is the national approach. One has to be a national recruiting program to truly register top 5 classes on annual basis because there isn't a program in the country signing all the best out of the home state at this point. 
    With the 2024 class about to hit the field for the first time as Texas Longhorns Tuesday, it's time to take a look at Sark's ultimate recruiting class. Included in the list is Xavier Worthy (only 2021 prospect not already committed when Sark was hired), and the classes of 2022, 2023 and 2024. As expected, the 2023 class shows up most on the list. The 2023 class was the highest ranked class. 
    This list is not who is starting or playing the most, but the highest ranked prospects Sarkisian and staff have signed since arriving in Austin.

    Four-star Lake Travis DL Gus Cordova to visit Texas for Spring Game
    Texas will receive an unofficial visit from 2025 Lake Travis defensive end Gus Cordova for the Texas spring game on April 20.
    Cordova has continued to be recruited by the Longhorns since his visit for the junior day in January and told me in February that the staff has continued to be actively pursuing him.
    The Lake Travis EDGE also locked in an official visit to USC for June 21-23.
    The next couple of months will be loaded with unofficial visits. Cordova told me last month he hoped to get up to as many as nine campuses in the months of March and April.
