Summary

Texas put the finishing touches on the 2021 recruiting cycle Wednesday when the Longhorns added three signees on National Signing Day. Head coach Steve Sarkisian wrapped up his transition signing class ranked No. 17 in the country and No. 2 in the Big 12, according to 247Sports Composite team rankings. On the mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in on the Longhorns' National Signing Day results, and give their key takeaways from Sarkisian's post-NSD press conference. The head coach was candid, and touched on pretty much everything, including his concerns on the roster, how he feels about the quarterback room and positions Texas will consider addressing in the NCAA Transfer Portal. The Flagship then shifts focus to the Texas basketball team after the Longhorns lost three of their last four games, and the importance of Shaka Smart getting the guys back in the rhythm they had prior to the rash of Covid-19 cases that sidelined several key players, including the head coach, over the last few weeks. The Flagship returns with our 'Love it or Leave it' segment, with this week's topics addressing the biggest concerns for Texas football, how to feel about Sarkisian's first month on the job and more! Catch all of that and much more on the mid-week edition of The Flagship Podcast.
