In this episode, Justin and Joe discuss…
- Justin and Joe start the ever-popular Questions Answered with the latest on 2024 St. Louis (Mo.) Saint Louis University wide receiver, On3 Industry Ranking five-star Ryan Wingo. Justin visited the talented pass-catcher this week and thinks Texas has a legitimate shot at the Missouri native. Growing up in a family full of athletes, Wingo is the youngest of the bunch and is enjoying the process. His timeline remains December, but left open the opportunity to decide sooner if he feels he knows where he wants to go.
- Justin and Joe next ask what stood out from Big 12 Media Days, specifically Steve Sarkisian. Texas’ third-year head coach embraces the expectations of winning of the 2023 Big 12 Championship. Sarkisian and the UT players brought a quiet confidence with them to the Big 12 event this week.

- Justin and Joe discuss what UT quarterback Quinn Ewers said and have thoughts on his media day appearance. Joe mentioned Ewers’ different look and attitude. He’s taking on more of a leadership role in the locker room and the players echoed those sentiments. Not always the most vocal player, Ewers is opening up more to the team and they’re responding. Joe also mentioned Jordan Whittington‘s quotes about Ewers’ growth. The discussion shifted to Xavier Worthy, who spoke about being a better teammate and working on refining his game to be ready for the NFL in the future.
- Justin and Joe shift back to recruiting with the announcement of IMG Academy DL Jayden Jackson, who committed to Oklahoma later that day. They discussed the upcoming decisions from Jackson, D’antre Robinson, and more.
- The guys finish with over/under on the amount of Texas commits before the next time Justin and Joe record. The number is two, where Justin took the under and Joe took the push, to leave open the possibility of a commitment dropping for Texas that might not be a scheduled ceremony.
