NCAA NET rankings headed into the day ... https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

Big 12 Tournament: No. 7 Texas vs. No. 10 Kansas State The second round of the Big 12 tournament begins today in Kansas City. And that includes the No. 7 seed Texas Longhorns taking on No. 10 seed Kansas State at 6 p.m. central (Big 12/ESPN+). For Texas (20-11, 9-9), a win or loss won't likely change anything from an NCAA Tournament seeding standpoint. If the bracketology projections are correct, Texas is locked into an 8/9 seed win or lose today. But a win over Kansas State today would send Texas into Thursday against No. 2 seed Iowa State with an opportunity to secure a 7 seed with a win. That makes the Big 12 Tournament meaningful for the Longhorns. Kansas State (18-13, 8-10) enters the Big 12 Tournament playing for their NCAA Tournament lives. Headed into the game, the Wildcats will not make the Field of 68. Not only does KSU need to beat Texas today, but also needs to beat No. 2 seed Iowa State Thursday. OnTexasFootball takes a look at the rankings and scenarios headed into the Big 12 Tournament. 2024 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship Tuesday, March 12 Game 1: No. 12 UCF 77, No. 13 Oklahoma State 64 (Season over for the Cowboys) Game 2: No. 11 Cincinnati 90, No. 14 West Virginia 85 (Season over for the Mountaineers) Wednesday, March 13 Game 3: No. 5 BYU vs. No. 12 UCF (ESPN2), 11:30 a.m. CT/10:30 a.m. MT Game 4: No. 8 TCU vs. No. 9 Oklahoma (Big 12 Now on ESPN+), 2 p.m. CT Game 5: No. 7 Texas vs. No. 10 Kansas State (Big 12 Now on ESPN+), 6 p.m. CT Game 6: No. 6 Kansas vs. No. 11 Cincinnati (ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Thursday, March 14 Game 7: No. 4 Texas Tech vs. Winner Game 3 (ESPN2), 11:30 a.m. CT Game 8: No. 1 Houston vs. Winner Game 4 (ESPN), 2 p.m. CT Game 9: No. 2 Iowa State vs. Winner Game 5 (ESPN2), 6 p.m. CT Game 10: No. 3 Baylor vs. Winner Game 6 (ESPN or ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Friday, March 15 Game 11: Winner Game 7 vs. Winner Game 8 (ESPN or ESPN2), 6 p.m. CT Game 12: Winner Game 9 vs. Winner Game 10 (ESPN or ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Saturday, March 16 Game 13: Winner Game 11 vs. Winner Game 12 (ESPN), 5 p.m. CT Big 12 and the NCAA Tournament The Big 12 is a near lock to be a nine bid league. The most of any conference this year. The record for bids by one conference is the Big East in 2011 with 11. 1 seed - Houston 3 seed - Iowa State 3 seed - Baylor 4/5 seed - Kansas 5 seed - BYU 6/7 - Texas Tech 7/8 seed - Texas 10/9 seed - TCU 10/9 seed - Oklahoma Texas NCAA Tournament seeding scenarios The Longhorns are going to be a No. 7 or No. 8 seed barring a run to the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game. The majority of bracketology projections continue to have Texas as a No. 8 seed, currently. Joe Lunardi has Texas a No. 8 seed. One projection (Jerry Palm), has Texas a No. 9 seed. The metrics for Texas have the Longhorns as a possibility to be a No. 7 seed NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (March 1) Texas is No. 25 in NCAA NET headed into the Big 12 Tournament. The Horns moved up 15 spots in the last two weeks from No. 40 prior to the win in Lubbock. The Longhorns are 5-9 in Quad 1 games, 3-1 vs. 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 is No. 19 in Bart Torvik’s rankings currently, up from No. 23 prior to the win over Oklahoma. 2024 Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings Texas checks in at No. 23 after being No. 25 prior to the victory over Oklahoma.

The way I see the G-league ... great for development, but you go away from the public/brand building for a year. There is no doubt Ron Holland developed more on a day-to-day basis in the G-league this year working with NBA personnel in skill development vs a year in college with restricted gym hours, but nobody saw him for a year...

Well, this was a national story on ESPN YESTERDAY If anything can help coaches recruit the here and now … they do and will

Fasusi is visiting April 9 with his family Im ranking guys on my opinion … in person and/or video and research, video and research etc…

Agree 100%

LMAO. Love it

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
