Elite 11, the top quarterback showcase in the nation, will commence from Del Valle High School on Saturday for its Austin Regional event.

In addition to 50 quarterbacks set to show their skills, and for the 2026 prospects at the position to punch their ticket to the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles this summer, over 85 other prospects will compete in the All 22 portion, which features some of the region's top non-signal-callers.

Although only a small handful of prospects in attendance currently hold an offer from Texas, there are many more who have interest from the Longhorns and will be names of note when Horns247 is live and on the ground at the camp.

Victor Wembanyama’s reading habits have Nikola Jokic in disbelief at NBA All-Star Game

Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama both starred in this weekend’s All-Star game.

Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama are part of the same European revolution dominating NBA accolades in recent years, but it’s clear that the two men don’t have much else in common.

While getting ready for Saturday’s All-Star Weekend action, Jokic took note of Wembanyama’s reading materials and asked, “You really brought a book?” The French star was nonplussed about the line of questioning, responding “Yes, I read before every game,” which only seemed to deepen Jokic’s confusion.

Jokic and Wembanyama both found themselves in San Francisco this past weekend for the All-Star Game after tremendous respective starts to the 2024-25 NBA season at the center position.

The Serbian star made a familiar mid-season stop at All-Star Weekend, averaging a near-30-point triple double so far for the Nuggets while earning his seventh-straight appearance in the game. Meanwhile, Wembanyama has taken his game to new heights after a dominant rookie season last year, averaging more than 24 points and nearly 4 blocks as he leads the Spurs back to playoff contention.

However, Jokic and Wembanyama found themselves on opposite ends of a more contentious All-Star Weekend discussion. Support has been growing for an All-Star format pitting American-born players against those from the rest of the world, which has achieved support from the French-born Wembanyama and Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Jokic believes the talent disparity is still too vast.

"The USA has more talented players than the rest of the world," said Jokic, the three-time MVP from Serbia who led Denver to the NBA title in 2023. "Europe and the rest of the world has talented players, I think, but the majority of the players are coming from USA."
