    The Longhorns Are Still Dancing & What’s the NFL Draft Process Really Like?
    Mar 25 2026
    On the latest edition of THE STAMPEDE, Mack Brown, Vince Young and Bob Ballou are talking hoops as both the Texas men’s and women’s basketball teams are headed to the Sweet 16! They discuss the impressive job Sean Miller has done in Year 1, debate whether the men's team should be considered a Cinderella and Vince reminisces about the type of basketball player he was back in the day (with some differing opinions from Mack). Then, the guys shift back to football by talking about the boost Laurence Seymore will give the Longhorns on the offensive line, the challenge of evaluating certain positions and the seemingly endless supply of questions a head coach must answer when assembling a team. The guys also dive into Texas tight end Jack Endries' NFL draft prospects before engaging in an in-depth discussion on the draft process as whole. They explore its challenges and flaws, the emotional toll it can take, how Mack tried to protect his players as they went through it and the advice Vince would give to those navigating it now.
