BREAKTHROUGH: Jaden Craig, Gordon Sammis Gives TCU REAL Optimism to Change Their Fortunes in 2026

TCU Horned Frogs fans have fresh reason to believe in a turnaround, as Jaden Craig and Gordon Sammis inject new optimism into the program. Can Sammis’ offensive system—which showcased its effectiveness at UConn—translate to Big 12 football and elevate the Frogs’ consistency at quarterback and in the run game? Craig’s draft potential and leadership promise a shift, while questions linger about how high this new duo’s ceiling reaches.   On the basketball courts, momentum is building. The TCU men’s team broke an eight-year streak with a winning conference record under Jamie Dixon, sparking hope for a strong NCAA Tournament run. Meanwhile, the women’s team missed a shot at a higher seed with a tough loss, exposing their reliance on Marta Suarez and Olivia Miles. Can role players like Taylor Bigby or Donovan Hunter step up for a deeper tournament push? The script is flipping for TCU athletics—how far can this wave carry them?       00:00 - TCU Football Optimism: Craig & Sammis 11:36 - Men’s Basketball: Season Turnaround 22:45 - Women’s Basketball: Tournament Takeaways   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOHornedFrogs?sid=YouTube   Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
