    Sunshine State 4-star defensive lineman Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High) has the full attention of the Texas staff. And that includes Steve Sarkisian. 
    Charles, 6-4 and 290'ish, received a first phone call from Steve Sarkisian earlier this week. 
    "I talked to Texas this week," Charles told OnTexasFootball Saturday. "It was the head coach, defensive line coach and some other coaches. He (Sarkisian) said that I can be a huge part of what they have going on. And I'm a priority for them."
    Charles is beginning to get to know Kenny Baker more, but is waiting on a visit to get a true feel.
    “I’ve talked to him two or three times. I will know more when I visit."
    Texas is talking to Charles about an April unofficial visit, and a June official visit. Charles has not locked in a visit date to Texas yet. 
    Florida State leads the way
    Florida State is the team mentioned most with Charles' recruitment right now. And the Seminoles will get him on campus again this spring, and for an official visit. Along the Seminoles, Miami and Florida are getting a lot of mention.
    "I'm planning to visit the three home state schools (this spring). And I wan to go visit Georgia, Texas, Auburn and USC."
    Charles has never stepped foot on campus at Georgia, Auburn or Texas. He has visited USC before. 
    Charles sports 28 offers headed into the spring. The offer list includes SEC programs Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

    Oklahoma State a must win? Or need to win?
    The Texas Longhorns (18-10, 7-8) will take the court at 1 p.m. CST at The Moody Center against Oklahoma State firmly in the Big Dance after Tuesday night's win at Texas Tech.
    There is one big question heading into today's game. Is this a must win game? Or need to win game? Answers could vary. 
    OnTexasFootball believes this is a "must win" game for Texas, and the reasons are simple. 
    Why is Oklahoma State a "must win" game? 
    The main reason for me is the latest Bracketology by ESPN's Joe Lunardi. The win Tuesday night instantly gave Texas the ability to end up a 7 seed if they win two of the last three. Lunardi currently has Texas as a No. 8 seed in the UConn region. That is NOT where any 8/9 seed desires to be. 
    Then there is not limping into postseason play. Winning three of the last four regular season games would be a trending up in the eyes of the committee headed into postseason play. Again, better chance to get off the 8/9 seed line. 
    Another reason today is a must win is for the dreamers! That would give Texas the shot at actually ascending to a No. 6 seed if Texas won the last three games of the regular season. Sure Texas has won four Big 12 road games, but none of those teams have the overall talent and scoring ability of Baylor. With that said, a win today would set up an opportunity Monday night to ascend late in the season. That is without question. Texas hasn't won more than two Big 12 games in a row this season, so another opportunity to ascend should the Horns handle business today. 
    Does Texas have to win to make the Big Dance? No. Does winning the home games remaining (Oklahoma to end regular season) place Texas on the No. 7 seed line headed into the Big 12 Tournament? Possibly. Or at least sets up a scenario where Texas could ascend to a No. 7 seed with one Big 12 Tournament victory.  
    Winning two of the last three would also put Texas at 20-11, and 9-9 in Big 12 play. Both of those records would help come seeding time on Selection Sunday.

    Last night the Longhorns offered 2025 tight end Linkon Cure.  The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder, who hails from Goodland, Kan., was offered by Jeff Banks.
    Cure is considered to be one of the top tight ends in the country and is a four-star prospect by all recruiting services. He holds offers from many schools, including Michigan, Oregon, Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and more. 
    This past season, he caught 42 passes for 946 yards and 14 touchdowns.
    A multi-sport athlete, Cure also plays basketball and runs track. He ran a 22.45 in the 200, 14.85 in the 110m hurdles, 39.32 in the 300m hurdles (state champion) and 6-2 in the high jump.
