Summary
There's no shortage of intel on this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast. From spring football to a new basketball regime in Austin, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in on all the hot topics surrounding the Longhorns. The Flagship kicks off with the latest intel from Texas spring football and the Longhorns who are standing out early under the direction of first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff. The hosts talk young players who have caught the attention of veterans thus far in spring ball and the latest with the positions of concern, including linebacker and wide receiver.
The Flagship then shifts focus to Texas hoops after the Longhorns hired former Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard as Shaka Smart's replacement. After taking the job less than one week ago, Beard has hit the ground running at Texas and has hired some key members to join his coaching staff. In addition to the coaching hires, Chip and Taylor also discuss some names to watch in the transfer portal as Beard looks to add to his current Texas roster.
After a short break, The Flagship continues with Love it or Leave it, with this week's topics touching on positions to be concerned about in spring practice, Beard's bold statements in his introductory press conference and much more!
Catch all of that and more on the mid-week edition of The Flagship Podcast.
