Dez Bryant just tossed gasoline on a Texas spring football storyline: he thinks true freshman Jermaine Bishop could become the Longhorns’ No. 1 wide receiver this fall. We react to the claim, separate hype from what actually translates once pads come on, and dig into why Bishop’s early buzz still matters even if the top of the depth chart is stacked with names like Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo.

We also hit the most important spring practice takeaway for Texas’ passing game: Wingo is back on the field after offseason wrist surgery, and every rep now is a step toward real timing later with Arch Manning. From receiver rotations to how the offense could look when the pieces are healthy, we lay out what should excite fans and what still needs to be proven before the Orange and White game.

Then we shift to defense and the mindset story that might define the season. Colin Simmons is trading record-chasing pressure for a simpler focus: team goals, winning a national title, and having fun. If that unlocks an even freer, cleaner version of his pass rush, SEC quarterbacks are in trouble. Finally, we take the cautionary turn: Texas’ biggest worry might be depth, especially across the offensive line and in an unproven secondary.

We close with Texas basketball, where a brutal loss and a late skid puts the Longhorns on the NCAA tournament bubble, watching other games and waiting on Selection Sunday chaos.
