That's wrong. Texas hasn't offered as of last night.

30 range based on what I know

Correct. Texas needs to be around top 20 long term IMO … 16-18’ish range Then is just comes down to player development and catching lightening in a bottle with a couple of guys I don’t think in NC terms. Texas had never won one, or played for it. Thats a serious pipe dream until one actually knocks on the door All I care about is Miller consistently has opportunity to challenge for E8’s … maybe you get that breakthrough to another FF as a program

Matas in a youth league game probably

Holy smokes

Texas up to No. 36 in NCAA NET 7-8 in Quad 1 https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

BTW, don’t think Lassina is improving much. Likely Codie the rest of the way, but we shall see

Think what it looks like at cornerback for the teams in contention in 2027 season is very key here. Meredith has designs on competing for a starting spot year one for sure.

UPDATE: John Meredith III OnTexasFootball is going to continue to report Texas is in the top 2 for 5-star John Meredith III (Fort Worth, Texas/North Crowley). A source close to the recruitment continues to stick with the Longhorns and Texas A&M being the top 2 at the end of the day for the 6-2, 170-pound cornerback. Meredith III and family are working to set up official visits right now. OTF can report that Texas wants the first visit. That would be June 5-7, assuming it gets locked in. Texas A&M prefers the last weekend of June. Will Muschamp and Mark Orphey are leading the recruitment for Texas. They remain in constant contact with the circle. The other two programs that OTF believes will receive official visits are Alabama and Ohio State. The top ranked prospect in the Lone Star State in the 2027 cycle will make a numb er of unofficial visits this spring. Those are expected to be Texas, Texas A&M, Notre and Miami for sure. The Fighting Irish and Hurricanes are battling hard for an official visit.

Extremely well done!

@Joe Zurais just what you would imagine in person

I bet he's in the ball park, but don't know about hitting 4.20. That's such a running a perfect race number

No, just the fan base with unrealistic expectations in a super duper, hyper speed instant gratification mode

That’s a 3-4 year build of a program you watched Hough was a 3-star (3rd year in program) Condon was ranked a 3-star out of Aussie (3rd year in program) Reuben C. Lightly recruiting out of HS to Washington state out of NBA Africa I believe (2nd year in program) SG Klavchar off bench was a 3-star out of Slovakia (3rd year in program). Their NC team didn’t have a McDonald’s AA It didn’t happen overnight … Golden was 16-17 in year one (Florida fans thought he was a bust hire) Lost in Round of 64 year two (when Hough, Condon were freshman) Will Texas fans afford the time for Miller to build? I already see signs of no, just being 100% real.

All LB’s at combine

Todd Golden at UF: year 1: not in NCAA Tournament year 2: Round of 64 Florida fan base thought he was a bust after year one. Danny Hurley at UConn: year 1: not in NCAA Tournament year 2: not in NCAA Tournament UConn fan base wanted him gone after two years. There are others very similar. It's the fan bases you are referencing, not the recruits IMO. Fan bases want super duper, hyper speed instant gratification these days. Recruits are all about NIL at the high-end level or portal. It's simply a transactional business. They want to go where they can get paid, and hopefully fulfill the dream of playing pro. Being brutally honest, a lot of these guys are cool with making the tournament and if they make a run with a team is icing on the cake. But so many of these guys don't live and die with the NCAA Tournament anymore. So the key questions is striking that balance if you aren't a blue blood or have the NIL spend of a blue blood (Louisville and Arkansas two in that type of category). You want to build a program the right way, which still takes time. But the fan bases these days have absolutely zero patience for that. And from an NIL perspective, where do you sit in line. You may have to build it in a slow advancement way (or try to) - but fan bases will move away from a coach before he builds the program in that scenario.

This is why I've been saying NCAA Tournament isn't a guarantee in year one First year high-major coaches making the NCAA Tournament in the portal era... 2017-18: 2 of 6 (high-major schools) 2018-19: 1 of 6 (high-major schools) 2019-20 (covid year no tournament) 2020-21: 0-1 (high-major schools) 2021-22: 6 of 14 (high-major schools) 2022-23: 6 of 14 (high-major schools) 2023-24: 2 of 9 (high-major schools) 2024-25: 6 of 14 (high-major schools) That was a blue blood or near it carousel (Kentucky, Louisville, Arkansas with Cal, etc…) 23 of 64 total. When you take away the blue blood/near blue blood (with blue blood NIL ability) changes on this list … those numbers go down even more, and considerably. This year as of today looks like … 5 of 11, with 4 in the balance
