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.

Should Texas win the play-in, they will face BYU at 10:05 pm CST on Thursday night. Going to be a very late evening for some.

Longhorns will await the winner of #16 Missouri State and #16 SFA for their round one game. Waiting in round two will be #8 Oregon and #9 Virginia Tech.

Longhorns are the No. 3 overall seed and get the #1 seed in the Fort Worth region.

UCLA and LSU in the same quadrant is significant news for Texas' draw.

UCLA is named the No. 2 seed in the tournament. I would suspect Texas to come in at 3.

UConn is the No. 1 overall seed.

Very much so.

Three outs away from a series win over Ole Miss. See if the Horns can add any additional insurance.

Strange play and Larson gets doubled up. Not sure about that one.

Love staying aggressive even when up 5. Get to ten and let's end this one early before the wind really picks up.

This is the type of performance I was expecting to see on Sundays this year. Volantis shutting things down in the top half, then the sticks scrapping together runs.
