It's important to note that Baker is from the Atlanta area and has SEC ties, which is obviously a plus for the Longhorns as they move conferences beginning next season. Here is Kenny Baker's bio from his time at WKU: https://wkusports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/kenny-baker/808 Here is his bio from the Miami Dolphins: https://media.miamidolphins.com/wp-content/uploads/Baker-Kenny.pdf

According to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, the Longhorns are expected to hire Kenny Baker as their next defensive line coach. Baker, who is currently the assistant defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins, was previously at Western Kentucky. View full news

This morning on "Coffee and Football", it was asked who would be the offensive and defensive MVP for the 2024 season. So I'm curious, who do you guys have? CJ and Bobby's answer: Quinn Ewers / Anthony Hill.

Will do! Thank you for the question.

Tonight, Oklahoma’s women’s basketball team beat the Longhorns 91-87. This was a game that everyone pretty much penciled in as a win for Texas, despite it being a rivalry. Needless to say, Horns head coach Vic Schaefer was not happy afterward.

TCU will be one to watch here, unless Texas offers in football. The Horned Frogs are telling Small he can play both sports in Fort Worth,

Austin Anderson outfielder Ed Small has decommitted from the Longhorns baseball program. Small is an elite prospect on the diamond, but has instead decided to focus his efforts on football moving forward. As a wide receiver, the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder already has offers in hand from schools such as TCU, Baylor, Texas State and Tulsa. He was recently on campus for the Texas junior day this past Saturday as well. This past season he hauled in 77 receptions for 1,112 yards and 19 touchdowns. Small was graded a 9.5 by Perfect Game for baseball, which is considered an MLB draft pick in the high rounds. View full news

💯 Going to be an interesting follow.

Also, for those who missed it, I wrote this on Monday regarding the team. More "editorial note" than anything, but I still find it interesting nonetheless.

FYI, LBJ was consistently sitting around 94-96 with his fastball this fall. Has also improved his changeup and slider.

I truly believe Gasparino is going to be so much fun to watch this year. LBJ will be money, but the big question is, what are we going to get out of Witt? THAT is the million dollar question. And the bullpen has plenty of potential and a lot of question marks Porter Brown and Peyton Powell are going to be a major boost. I also expect Flores to take the next step.

I don’t think there’s any hoping to that unless they just have a disaster of a combine. That’s a sure fire bet, imo. My question is where does Brooks go? Does someone take a chance and go earlier than expected? Or does he fall and fall due to ACL?

I’m with Bobby and CJ on this. My guess is 4.48-4.51. Somewhere right in there.

I let the cat out of the bag this morning on C&F, but I'll tell it all again here. We will be sitting down with Coach Pierce tomorrow and that video will come out soon afterward (I assume, anyway, but @Bobby Burton will know better than I). I'm working on a preview for you guys. I actually just finished the projected lineup right before typing this message as I wait at the doctor's office for my son's appointment. Hoping to have it out the first of next week, after the Pierce interview. And, last but not least, former Longhorn player/Asst. AD-Baseball Operations Drew Bishop is going to sit down with me to do an in-depth season preview breakdown. We are 23 days away from the start of the season and only ten days away from the Alumni game!

Just out of curiosity, who is your all time favorite Longhorn, regardless of sport, and why do you feel that way? No wrong answers here. Doesn't even have to be an athlete. I'll start. Mine is Colt McCoy. No one gave him much of a chance when he signed and Jevan Snead (Stephenville) was going to be the future. McCoy beats him out and eventually grew into one of the best quarterbacks to ever play not only at Texas, but in all of college football at the time. By the time he ended his career, he owned 47 school records. Incredibly good guy off the field as well.
