It’s Day 3 of Big 12 Media Week on In The Circle. Naturally, that means we’re talking three Big 12 teams, each looking to make its own improvements in 2026.

First, we head to Iowa State as the Cyclones look to build on their strong finish from 2025. You’ll hear from head coach Jamie Pinkerton and All-Big 12 First Team performer Jessie Clemons.

Next, it’s off to Lawrence, Kansas, for some Rock Chalk, Jayhawk. Head coach Jennifer McFalls and All-Big 12 Defensive Team selection Presley Limbaugh share expectations for this massive Kansas roster.

We wrap things up in H-Town, where the Cougars enter Year 1 under new head coach Chrissy Schoonmaker. She and budding star infielder Makenna Mitchell discuss how Houston is set to make noise in 2026.
