Texas still pursuing ... but he's got the NBA G-league opportunity as well. This one will likely play out a while

Agree for all the same reasons ... plus High 3-star/low 4-star DL's out of Florida are the type of developmental prospects I love for Texas.

Extremely powerful and quick prospect ...

For sure. It is now! Ohio State, Texas, LSU duking it out plus USC, Texas A&M and a couple of others trying hard. Texas has pushed harder for Brew than any other CB in the 2025 cycle, to date

Correct!

Tuesday Morning Recruiting Nuggets OnTexasFootball touched base with a number of Texas offers and targets in the 2025 cycle Monday. We get Tuesday started with some nuggets and notes from the various conversations. Dorian Brew, CB, Conroe (Texas) High The 6-2, 197 pound cornerback with 10.7 FAT 100 meter speed told OnTexasFootball last night that he has an official visit locked in to Ohio State June 21-23. He also said he believes his Texas visit date is locked in, but a family member has those details. That date is likely to be June 14-16. Brew will be on the road this weekend with a trip to Oregon. He also plans to attend the LSU Spring Game April 13, and will be on campus at Ohio State this spring as well. A visit to Texas in April is also likely. The Longhorns Spring Game date of April 20 is a possibility. Ohio State, Texas and LSU continue to be the three schools that are consistently talked about with a pari of sources close to the recruitment. Brew's father was an All-American sprinter at LSU, and an Olympian. His mother is in the Ohio State Hall of Fame (track and field). John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius The OnTexasFootball 4-star offensive lineman remains a top target for Texas at guard in the 2025 cycle. Mills, 6-6 and 325 pounds, has added two more official visits to his calendar. OnTexasFootball broke the news a while back that Mills would visit Texas June 14-16, as well as Washington May 31-June 2. Mills told OTF Monday night that he will officially visit California May 23-26, and USC June 21-23. Florida, Nebraska, Michigan and a couple of others are also in play for official visits. Mills will also be at Texas April 6 for the Longhorns big visit weekend around spring practice. His spring unofficial visit schedule is packed with Nebraska March 23, California March 30, Texas April 5-6, Michigan April 7-8 and Washington April 13. Jarquez Carter, DL, Newberry (Fla.) High One of the first week in March offers by Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker made a visit to Miami (Fla) last weekend. Carter, 6-2 and 280 pounds, will be at UCF March 15, and plans to visit Florida State, Tennessee and Ohio State in March. He also has Alabama and Colorado Spring Game (April 27) in April. Carter didn't rule out a visit to Texas, but there is not a date being targeted as of Monday afternoon. Derry Norris Jr., DL, Port Orange (Fla.) Spruce Creek OnTexasFootball continues to hear that a spring visit to Texas is likely by the 6-3, 270 pound versatile defensive lineman. This is a recruitment to watch for the Longhorns if they make a big spring push. The current April 6 visitors list on the defensive line includes Chace Sims (Richmond, Texas/Randle), Floyd Guidry (Spring, Texas/High) and Xavier Ukponu (Denton, Texas/Guyer). View full news

TV channel will merge into SEC TV channels LHN will still have a digital platform in some regard

This won't hurt the in state schools as much as the initial reaction would hope, but it definitely only helps OOS schools recruiting the Sunshine State https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39710283/naacp-asks-black-student-athletes-reconsider-florida-colleges

OU just made so little NIL effort in hoops. Very difficult job. Guess DePaul had to amp it up in the competitive NIL game.

Love his initial quickness, ability to COD and length. Big ole' feet on him too. Having seen him in person, legit 6-5 and 215'ish. Zina type frame that will take a little longer to develop due to not having a younger brother the level of Neto to help accelerate the process. Top 100 national type for me.

To be clear, she was 22-79 in four seasons ... but still a brutal way to go.

Nice!

The WR's are ridiculous coming in. Could be a great class! Agree on Baker, he needs to get 9-10 OV's from top targets, and win out for 3-4... but it's the most competitive position in the SE Region. NIL recruitments.

Red was 230 two'ish weeks ago ... maybe the scales need to be replaced at UT!

Texas still a No. 8 seed https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2024-march-madness-men-field-predictions

Think those two are the tough matchups for Texas without Rori Harmon. Texas will have to shoot it from perimeter well in those games ...
