It was already a Q coming into the spring too. Black makes sense there

Not a kid on earth should be playing basketball if he’s throwing 99 from the left side.

I’d say that’s pretty athletic.

I hate that I just pencilled every one seed into the final four for both brackets.

I don't think it will either. But it would make a ton of sense.

I think it would make plenty of sense. Especially given there is a path at safety to see time in the spring. Get acclimated to the position now with the high end reps that will be available.

Kobe Black is a guy I have had circled as someone who I think would make a great safety prospect. I see corner looking like Littleton-Mascoe-Phillips with Roberson/Matthews being optimal options towards the back end of the year.

Quick Note on Defensive Backs *** A couple of quick hitters on the defensive back room. *** – First, when the team returns from spring break, I expect Zelus Hicks to be very close to returning as a full participant for the Horns. Hicks had been sidelined with a foot injury during winter conditioning, but is close to getting out on the field for the first time this spring. Hicks had previously been on the field for pre-practice warmups, but would then head for work with the training/conditioning staff off to the side. – From Friday's practice, I was told Wardell Mack came away with an interception from 7v7 period. Mack continues to get work in the nickel spot, mostly with the second unit with Filsaime's absence. – The first unit remains unchanged for the most part. Littleton and Mascoe are both getting time in the slot. Phillips on the outside with Mascoe and Littleton swapping in on the opposite side and Black receiving snaps with the first team as well. I will add this on Kade Phillips, from what I have gathered the expectations are super high for year two in a starting role. *** I will add that I am quite intrigued by Warren Roberson. I think his skillset bodes well for the press man coverage that is expected to be more prevalent in the defense this fall. Roberson ended up playing 187 in 2026 with 53 coming in the bowl game against Michigan. Speaking of that game, Roberson finished as the 2nd highest graded Longhorn in coverage (84.7) with just one reception on four targets for 3 yards.

Two things, Texas WBB is in great hands currently. Texas WBB will be in great hands for the future. This upcoming recruiting class is Vic’s best and the top in the country.

I will be winning this year. Thanks for playing everyone!

Running back room was so fun to watch go through drills last week. There have been years where there were noticeable dips at the position after the top guy or so. Not in 2026. Texas goes 7 deep, with four in a position to give you really solid production whenever need be.

Agreed.

This is rather unfortunate.

Full bracket.
