Foolish not to consider Ben McCollum because he was Div II or his team is slow and methodical. He can adjust to his talent and score more. Ben is astute with 16 years of proven winning experience but just 43 years old. TT HC McCasland is his great friend and respects him immensely. CDC should pursue Ben McCollum and shoot his shot. Ben is an elite winner (.819% career winning) with a proven track record of developing point guards, improving shooting percentage and fielding sound, effective defenders. Ben handled the move up to Div I brilliantly. Drake lost 15 players. Yet Drake is now winning with "misfits" and 4 Div II Drake transfers (31-3 this season including upsetting #6 seed MO by 10 pts yet Drake missed 12 free throws. Top 10 scoring MO did not score a bucket for 8 minutes in the 2nd half.). Ben McCollum HC Drake is the grand prize in this year's college coaching carousel. Reporting says Iowa wants their native son to be their next HC. Believe Ben wants the Iowa job. Drake is about 30 minutes from Iowa University. Texas should get somebody that is good but I doubt we will get an elite winner and developer like Ben McCollum.

Texas is healthier. Texas boosted their resume with 2 good Quad-1 wins in the SEC tourney and a solid 1st half vs a really good TN team. I believe Texas should be in the field of 68. Texas can make a case to be in ahead of WV, UNC, Xavier, IU, OHSt, SDST, Boise St, Vandy, etc. Texas has 7 Quad-1 wins including 4 in the last 30 days. 1. Yes, but it's close with a few teams. 14 SEC teams in March Madness is not desirable by the committee. 2. Yes, I want Texas to make the NCAA tournament.

Fast. Give him some carries at RB and targets at WR. Need more Pony package this year.

Good to know. Getting Cooper ATH/RB to visit in June would be fantastic. Coach Chad Scott talked to Crowell RB and he has reschedule his TX OV for June 6-8.

Texas is rested and healthier. No excuses for Texas in this "must win" game but you should not assume it will happen just because SC is 0-13 in the SEC. South Carolina has lost 13 straight but at home... #18 Clemson lost by 3 @ South Carolina SC at home has played ranked SEC teams close... lost by 3 vs #1 Auby lost by 1 vs #2 FL lost by 4 vs #7 Ags lost by 5 vs #21 MSST lost by 4 vs #24 Ole Miss SC is 10-3 out of conference.

After Texas beat #15 KY last night.... Texas is now up to #34 on KenPom and #31on NET.

Sad to have witnessed Johntay needlessly and recklessly blow two outstanding opportunities. No surprise at this point, Johntay caught behaving foolishly again. THC from hemp is legal in Texas but marijuana is not. Idiotic at this point. He may soon exhaust his good opportunities, if he hasn't already. Hope Johntay somehow finds his way and gets back on track.

Thanks Gerry. Brevard expected to be strictly NT for us? Shaw plays both or just NT? Hero the 3 technique?

Blake, CJ and Jeff, Appreciate everybody's thoughts and insights on this 2025 Texas team. Well done.

Getting portal WRs Mitchell then Golden was uncommonly spectacular. Unfortunately, I don't see anybody that good for Texas in this portal window. Returning WRs Moore will be in year 3 and Wingo will be in year 2. Both have WR experience and both are expected to start next season at Texas. Unlike last season losing all 3 WR starters, we only have 1 clear opening at WR. We also have an opening at KR1 and PR1. Many assumed we would find 1 top portal WR but it is proving to be more difficult to find what we seek. Texas should also have 6-8 competing at WR - Niblett, Livingstone, Butler, Dubose, Terry, Ffrench, Lockett, and McCutcheon. Looking forward to seeing them in the spring game.

Everybody is a spring EE but the Coleman bros and Townsend, right?

This big guy has the potential to be a riser in his contract year. Has the SEC length and size. Gives Texas an IDL rotation piece with a good floor. More experienced than Sydir Mitchell.

Mack had his chances at Texas. He made his choices and burned bridges here. We are so much better off without him at this point. Mack was just fired for going 3-5 in the ACC conference in year 6! Mack has now lost 40 conference games over the last 10 seasons. His recruiting was awful this year, ranked 75th, 80th, 82nd, 97th by various team rankings. At 73, Mack is a loser in football and recruiting. His input and involvement is not needed. Crazy to want him involved since he has been so bad of late. This is the Sark era. Hook Em!

I predict Lance Jackson sets the single season record for tipped passes.
