Summary
The Texas wide receiver room took a hit this week with Jake Smith entering the transfer portal and summer enrollee freshman WR Keithron Lee's suspension from all team activities following his arrest over the weekend. On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes are back with another loaded show covering the latest happenings in Texas athletics.
The Flagship Podcast starts off with an in-depth look at the Longhorns' receiver unit after the WR room has continued to lose bodies, starting with the decision of Smith to enter the transfer portal. Smith's departure was the first of two blows to the depth of the Longhorn receivers in a single day and was followed up with the news that Steve Sarkisian has suspended Lee from all team activities as they continue to monitor the on-going legal situation stemming from Lee's arrest for assault of a family member.
The Flagship then shifts focus to the Texas baseball team after the Longhorns sent Tennessee packing in Tuesday's elimination game win over the Vols. Chip and Taylor take a look at the improved offensive showing in Tuesday's win and how the Longhorns' pitching rotation could be a secret weapon for Texas as the team advances deeper into the College World Series.
The hosts move on to this week's edition of Love it or Leave it as Chip and Taylor look at the Longhorns' current roster depth, who could benefit most from some of the recent attrition and what to make of the Longhorns as they continue on in the College World Series.
Texas fans won't want to miss this loaded episode of The Flagship Podcast.
