    Four-star WR Kaliq Lockett talks Texas Longhorns Sachse, Texas - When listing the top targets at wide receiver in the 2025 cycle for the Texas, Sachse High's Kaliq Lockett is one of the first few mentioned. Lockett, 6-1.5 and 175 pounds with 10.25 inch hands, was offered by the Longhorns December 7. Following the offer were visits to Sachse High by Steve Sarkisian, Chris Jackson and Tashard Choice in December and January. The communication has been relationship building prior to an April 6 visit to Austin. "Man, I was on the phone with Coach Sark last week and I talk to Coach (Chris) Jackson on a week-to-week basis," Lockett said Tuesday afternoon. "And I touch base with Coach (Tashard) Choice too. So the coaches and I stay in touch, and I can't wait to get back to Texas." That visit to Texas will be a first in over a year, and the message is clear by Sarkisian and Jackson. "I was there for Junior Day last year (January 2023). Coach Sark's message is that I'm a top target for Texas right now. And Coach Jackson has stressed that too." Lockett is also being recruited by Texas 2025 quarterback commitment K.J. Lacey (Saraland, Ala./High). "Oh yeah, I'm in contact with K.J. He's telling me to go ahead and slide to Texas. He wants to be my quarterback." Lockett also knows Johntay Cook II and Xavier Filsaime from the TexasFlex 7v7 program. He speaks with Cook frequently. Before Lockett makes the April 6 visit to Texas, the DFW area fast rising star will make a trip of visits. "I have Florida State March 9, Penn State March 14, Ohio State March 22-23, Texas on April 6, LSU April 12 and Texas A&M April 20. And it could be more. Lockett on the contenders Florida State: "I've never been to FSU. I have only been to Florida on time for a 7v7 tournament (January this year). Coach (Ron) Dugans has stressed to me that he has to get me out there. And I have to come check it out. Florida State is a school I'm interested in, and have been wanting to go see." Penn State: "I camped at Penn State last summer where I earned an offer. So I kind of got a feel for how Coach (Marques) Hagans coach a little bit. I got to meet Coach (James) Franklin and the rest of the staff. I didn't get to see all of Penn State, but I'm looking forward to seeing it March 14." Ohio State: "I've never been on campus. I've never been that far from the region of Dallas. Ohio State is one that I have been wanting. The resume they have, and Coach (Brian) Hartline's resume, is that they have already had two Texas guys under his belt. And who he brought in for the 2024 class, including Jeremiah Smith, and the 2025 class they have guys coming in. I'm really looking forward to see how he coaches in person, and getting to meet the rest of the staff, see the campus and facilities." LSU: "Coach (Cortez) Hankton, Coach (Brian) Kelly, Coach Sloan and Coach Turner - they have been in close contact with me. I talk to Coach Hankton on a week-to-week basis as well. Their fire power on offense was crazy." Texas A&M: "I had the opportunity to camp with Coach (Holmon) Wiggins when he was at Bama. So I already got a feel for how he coaches. Coach (Mike) Elko, his resume speaks for itself. He took a 2-7 Duke team to a 9-3/8-4 Duke team. And he didn't have near the resources he has at Texas A&M. So when you combine his coaching skills with the people he's brought in and the resources he has - it's unbelievable what he could do at Texas A&M. Coach Wiggins put multiple receivers in the league that he has coached. His resume speaks for itself." Lockett's grandmother taught class at Texas A&M. His mom's side of the family is half LSU and half Texas A&M fans. His father grew up in Southern California. Lockett sports 30 offers with LSU, Oklahoma, USC, Ohio State, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Syracuse, Texas A&M, Missouri, Florida State, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Miami and Kansas State since late October.

    Quinn and Anthony Hill for sure are two guys. Hill is really pushing for that type of role. And I like that.

    I would love to end Zach Edey's college career. He's been one of the most over hyped college players I have seen.

    IMO, only if there is a coaching change. What's about to happen in NIL is these contracts are going to be binding with buyouts IMO. Prospects are going to be locked into them replacing the old locking in of the NLI.
  11. Gerry Hamilton
    I'm not there if Texas finishes 7-11. That means they lost to Oklahoma State and OU at home to end regular season. That dog won't hunt IMO.

    Per ESPN, NCAA meeting on changing the dates of the signing period for high school football prospects. And I've got say I love it! Here is where it's headed (A Power 5 assistant mentioned this to me Tuesday)... Last Wednesday in June - early signing period Wednesday after regular season ends in college football (those are for the December HS graduates by and large) and First Wednesday in February Hey, yippee!!! The NCAA may finally get something right

    One freaking DI offer coming out of high school. And he played on one of the best teams in Texas that went to the 5A State title game. Just dumb.
  14. Gerry Hamilton
    Texas hasn't won more than two Big 12 games in a row this season. I would put the chances of winning four in a row to end the regular season at 10-15%. Maybe I'll be proven wrong!

    3-4 man class in 2025.
  16. Gerry Hamilton
    Yep. Texas is moving the big visit weekend to June 21-23

    If I could bottle up Chendall Weaver's energy, all out effort, competitive drive, etc... and put it in every heart and mind of every athlete ...Texas would very rarely lose a game in any sport. He's got the same Sir'Jabari Rice and Roschon Johnson make up, with a different skill set.

    Brock Cunningham .. tip of the hat. That guy is an ultimate competitor. The play was worthy of the result, but college teams absolutely need a player with what he brings to toughness/leadership and impact winning.

    What does Texas have to do to make the NCAA Tournament? The Texas Longhorns once again ripped out the hearts of a moblike Texas Tech fan base Tuesday night. The Longhorns responded from one rough day at Kansas with an 81-69 win at Texas Tech Tuesday night in a game that wasn't as close as the final score indicated. Texas (18-10, 7-8) has a strong NCAA Resume currently, and is firmly in the Big Dance after Tuesday night. OnTexasFootball takes a look ahead, and the scenarios for Texas to continue to be comfortably in the tourney. Texas’ Remaining Regular Season Schedule 3/2 Oklahoma State 3/4 @ No. 12 Baylor 3/9 No. 25 Oklahoma NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (Feb. 28) Texas is No. 33 in NCAA NET after the win at Texas Tech. The Horns moved up seven spots from No. 40. The Longhorns are 5-7 in Quad 1 games, 2-2 vs. Quad 2, 2-1 vs. Quad 3 and 9-0 vs. Quad 4. Quad 1 games remaining for the Longhorns: No. 14 @ Baylor Quad 2 game remaining: No. 40 Oklahoma Quad 3 games remaining: No. 113 Oklahoma State T-Rank Texas is No. 23 in Bart Torvik’s rankings after Tuesday night. 2024 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings Texas checks in at No. 28 after the win at Texas Tech. What it means for Texas The Longhorns are comfortably in the NCAA Tournament after Tuesday nights win. The resume continues to be aided by five Quad 1 wins and four Big 12 road wins. Only 14 teams in all of college basketball have more Quad 1 wins than Texas, and one of those is not in a Power 5 conference. While Strength of Schedule as a whole may not carry as much weight as it used to, the Longhorns have played a top 25 ranked schedule and will likely end up with a scheduled ranked in the 17-20 area. Texas' Big 12 schedule will carry a lot of weight when it comes to getting in the tournament, and seeding. Most years, a sub .500 conference record would not get you into the Field of 68. With the monster level Big 12 Conference in 2023-24, Texas would get in at 8-10. There currently nine Big 12 teams projected to get in the Big Dance. Texas and seeding: Scenario 1: 20-11, 9-9 is likely a 7 seed headed into Big 12 Tournament Scenario 2: 19-12, 8-10 would likely be a 8-9 seed headed into Big 12 Tournament Scenario 3: 18-13, 7-11 would send the Horns to the NIT without a run in the Big 12 Tournament. That would mean an 0-3 finish to the regular season, which is highly unlikely. Right now, I do not see a scenario where Texas is 21-10 and 10-8 to finish the regular season. That would mean winning the last four games (Texas Tech starting the streak), including at Baylor on Monday. Texas has not shown that consistent type of stretch this season over talent neutralized stretches. The Longhorns haven't won three Big 12 games in a row this season.
