In this episode, Joe and Justin discuss:

  1. Joe and Justin open with the Texas Longhorns’ five prospects invited to the 2023 NFL Draft Combine: Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, Moro Ojomo, Keondre Coburn, and DeMarvion Overshown. They discuss Robinson’s first-round status and how he could buck the trend of not taking tailbacks in the first round. Johnson was a skinny quarterback from Port Neches-Groves whose work ethic, leadership, and unique athleticism makes him appealing on Day 2 of the draft. Justin tells a funny story on how Coburn tricked UT’s Class of 2018 commitments weeks before he signed with the Horns, how Coburn has pushed his way into a potential pick after a solid senior year, and how the NFL view Overshown’s hyper-athleticism, injury history, and lack of position at the next level.
  2. Joe and Justin look at the No. 5 Texas Basketball schedule over the next two games – West Virginia and at Texas Tech – and how they’re handling the rigors of Big 12 Conference play in 2023.
  3. Joe and Justin talk finish up with Super Bowl talk for this Sunday’s big game. Both quarterbacks are from Texas High School Football, both played against the Longhorns throughout their college career, and how they’re both three-stars heading into Sunday’s big game. Justin tells stories about Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts recruitments in high school, how both share the same trainer, and the they both make predictions on the final outcome.
