Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (What's happened, what's happening and what might happen...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I have loved Sark's approach to recruiting but that tweet was a horrible mistake. Texas cannot afford to alienate Duncanville's football program by going at there highest ever rated player. That Southwest Dallas area has been great for Texas. Not smart.
Agree, but that’s not anything that’s irreversible. A little cool down period and some sweet nothings whispered and we can be right back in the thick of it.
Helluva write up, Ketch. Did you expect to be working this much on football drama in July?
2021
Don’t count because of hire date
2022
Evan Stewart, Chris Marshall (finish 5 ⭐️?)
2023
Cook (signed)
2024
Hudson, Bussey (if you consider him WR)
2025
Moore
Wondering your thoughts on going 1 of 4 (1 of 6 if you consider Marshall and Bussey) at WR, not really sure how I feel about it. Also could you rank Moore, Hudson, Cook, Stewart (coming out of high school) in order?
I don’t like that subtweet by Sark, no matter if they’ve moved on.
Be mature.
Be mature.
One could easily argue Bond and Bolden are both super blue transfers, while Golden isn’t far off. 1 of 4 in HS in Texas isn’t optimal, but super blues are super blues. I don’t care if they’re from Texas or the moon Titan, if they make plays on Saturday is all that matters. And I don’t know about Moore, but Wingo is better than any of the others.
Yeah I didn’t add all the super blues during that time, just 5 ⭐️ alone… agreed about location, i tend to prefer OOS guys for some reason
Yep, Texas high school football is amazing and I love our homegrown kids, but a lot of our most memorable players have been OOS. Ricky, Bijan and our beloved Arch immediately come to mind, with a handful of current kids ready to take that leap. I love that Sark recruits nationally.
All that said I wish Keelon Russell was in this class
Just taking a sec to stop and think about the greatness of Trading Places made this a good read.
I didn't use it in the article, but the person I spoke with mentioned that if Texas had won our for Moore, Lanning wouldn't have made a similar Tweet.
Not really, but I try not to be shocked by anything after all these years. Expect the unexpected.
I thought we were just talking about players Texas landed. Oh yeah, there are more. outside of that. It's what made the idea of not going to Texas a bit ironic because Texas has landed one in-state WR in the last decade.
Agree. I've watched that movie so many times and it's hilarious every single time.
OBs that don’t dive into the numbers should learn this…NO class is ever gonna have 25 super blue chips in it. Hell, the two best supposed classes ever (aggy and Georgia I think) only had 10 or so. To me 5-6 is acceptable, but 7-8 is ideal. That’s normally about 1/3 of the class. Stack 3-4 of those type of classes in a row and that’s how you have 15-20 super blues on the roster like Ketch has graphed.
We are still very much in the hunt to do that. It just may not be the ones we thought it would be.
Life is too low. Great flick.
For those mentioning Delirious, it was better than Raw, but it wasn't a movie, it was an HBO special. Top 5 stand up specials ever though.

Best point so far - “We are still very much in the hunt to do that (have15 to 20 super blues on roster) It just may not be the ones we thought it would be “
There is all kinds of other things possible;
Like the LB’er may not have liked all the love the WR got on the OV,
Like someone has suggested that kids are being paid not to commit to Texas. (You can flip later. Recruiting is dirty),
Like any number of things,
Who knows?
As long as we get a good solid class we will be good.
