    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.

    Russell committed to SMU in September of 2023. He has 20 offers currently, including Florida, UCLA, Houston, Duke and California since December.
    Russell led Duncanville High to a second straight 6A Division I State Championship in 2023. He completed 189 of 262 passes for 3,483 yards with 38 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
    John Mills visit plans

    Mills, 6-6 and 325 pounds, will make official visits to Washington May 31-June 2 and Texas June 14-16. Prior to that, he has a full spring of unofficial visits.

    Washington - April 13
    Texas, Washington and Michigan remain the top 3 in the recruitment of the OnTexasFootball 4-star lineman. 
    Josiah Sharma and Texas
    Spoke with a source close to the recruitment of the 6-5, 300 pound defensive tackle. The Utah Utes have an official visit locked in June 14-16.
    Sharma, now at Folsom High in Northern California, remains in contact with Texas area recruiter Johnny Nansen and defensive line coach Kenny Baker. A spring visit remains a possibility with dates being looked at. 
    Alabama is a major player in the recruitment. Sharma was a Washington commit prior to Kalen DeBoer taking the job in Tuscaloosa. He made a visit to Alabama at the end of January. 
    Oregon is also considered a serious player in the recruitment.
