I really think Texas needs to move on from both. I like Dillon Mitchell as a down the line quality role player as a pro ... But Texas needs college wings (Devon Pryor a key next year), and more stretch bigs at PF. Problem with Mitchell returning is it would be more about wing development than anything, and that's just not his fit in the college game IMO. And that will limit what Texas can be offensively with Tre Johnson, Cam Scott and Devon Pryor.

For sure! shot a combined 0-21 against Kansas State (N), Iowa State (at home) and At Marquette… truly amazing

lol I'm not sure the staff has made enough final decisions on guys to even go there!!!

Big 12 Tournament has been crazy to this point ... Kansas loses to Cincinnati 72-52. TCU fired a lot of bricks today ... 17-73 (2-20 from three) in the loss to Houston, but had 55 rebounds (25 offensive).

Texas exited the Big 12 Tournament with a 78-74 loss to Kansas State in the 2nd round, the first game for the Longhorns. Now comes the question of where will Texas be seeded on Selection Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern time. With the loss, falling to a No. 10 seed would likely be the best case scenario for Texas (20-12, 9-9). Getting off the 8/9 seed line and not being tasked with taking on UConn (again), Tennessee or Purdue would be welcomed as all three teams are not ideal matchups for the Longhorns. Texas NCAA Tournament seeding scenarios The Longhorns are going to be a No. 8, No. 9 or No. 10 seed in the tournament. Moving toward a No. 9 or 10 with the upset loss to Kansas State Wednesday. Joe Lunardi has Texas a No. 9 seed following the loss last night. One projection (Jerry Palm), has Texas a No. 9 seed - same as before the loss. NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (March 1) Texas fell from No. 25 to No. 28 in NCAA NET after the Big 12 Tournament loss. The Longhorns are 5-9 in Quad 1 games, 3-2vs. Quad 2, 5-1 vs. Quad 3 and 7-0 vs. Quad 4. Kansas State is No. 70 in NCAA NET, and would be a fourth Quad 2 win for the Horns. Should the Horns advance to Thursday, Iowa State would be a Quad 1 win opportunity on a neutral court. Iowa State is No. 9 in NCAA NET. T-Rank Texas fell from No. 19 to No. 20 in Bart Torvik’s rankings after Wednesday night. 2024 Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings Texas checks in at No. 25 after being No. 23 prior to the Kansas State loss.

TCU just shot 17 of 73 vs. Houston. But had 55 rebounds ... wild numbers!

The main guys we have heard about are the California Power 7v7 guys, and Nightrydas 7v7 out of the Houston area. We will be double checking with some guys this weekend/early next week.

He's there now. I didn't include commits in this one.

If Signing Day were today This is a OnTexasFootball first article with this headline. While the December 4th signing day is over 200 days away, the majority of prospects on this list will make decisions prior to senior seasons. Steve Sarkisian and staff are currently in the lead, top two or in a position to battle on more than two dozen prospects in the 2025 cycle. OTF takes a look at 25 prospects of note with the categories being - Yes, Maybe and Work to be done. Yes is Texas leads, or would lead with a strong push.

Enjoy Colin Simmons fans! https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39708777/breakout-players-top-25-teams-2024-season

And AD Mitchell would be the draft winner in the game of which Texas WR could go to the KC Chiefs to play with the best QB in the game Xavier Worthy, definitely not a loser ... just second place in the where would a WR want to go drafted late in the first round!

I'm with you ... send Texas to a No. 10 seed please, and thank you

For now, as the lawsuit continues ... this is big in college basketball now with the portal window now open, and the spring football portal window opening soon... https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/39727086/multiple-transfer-athletes-play-amid-lawsuit-ncaa-says

Thank you for the kind words, and giving us a shot!

Kansas boards is not the place to be these past few hours!

There isn't one on this team is Tyrese Hunter is a no show IMO. Texas' only chance to maximize is if Abmas/Disu play well, and Hunter give you something. Hunter has been a wildly inconsistent player for a third year starting guard.
