Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 Texas State Bobcats Spring Showcase Mailbag | No. 227
Q: Which position group do you have the most confidence in from spring ball, and which concerns you the most?
The defensive line is the most confident area given depth and talent, while running back is the position with the least confidence due to Greg Burrell's absence and uncertainties about other backs' readiness.
2026 Texas State Bobcats Spring Showcase Mailbag | No. 227
Q: What are the chances Ishmati gets drafted and how does the quarterback depth look beyond Brad Jackson?
The host believes Ishmati has a decent chance to be drafted in the later rounds, noting his versatility and speed, while also acknowledging a relatively weak draft class; Brad Jackson remains the clear starter, but depth behind him hinges on spring performance and summer development.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: Do you expect that we will have a new men's and women's basketball coach as we enter the PAC 12?
It depends on how the season plays out, but if the results stay below expectations, a change might be needed after this season depending on performance during the tournament.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: When does the 2026 PAC football schedule get released?
It should be released soon, but the exact timing is still up in the air due to various factors including scheduling and legal issues.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: Do you think the clubhouse and facility upgrades will be enough to help Coach Trout get baseball back to where fans and alumni expect it to be?
Facility upgrades are needed, but they won't achieve wins alone. The program has to show improvement, as the last two seasons have been below expectations.
