Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Your 2025 Spring Portal Primer)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
If you had to take a wild guess right now who is the best transfer player Texas lands?
Any wish list names? Any way we could land Westco since he is a Texas kid or Sarratt from Indiana?
You are so damn right about Sigourney Weaver.... She sleeps above the covers.... FOUR FEET above the covers!!!
Agree 100# “Better than Bird ever was” Too many who played against him would strongly disagree. I think Jordan in particular.
My takes regarding the Nico situation:
#1. Nico has a massive target on his back — he needs to be flawless next season and leave no doubt that he is/was worth $4m per year, otherwise the critics are going to devour him.
#2. A legit, current starting QB at a Big X or Big XII school will unexpectedly (at least a week ago) enter the portal this week and sign with Tennessee by this time next week. Tenn is ready to roll this season and the temptation will be too great to deny.
#3. College football gets less compelling by the year. Sigh.

Any update on whether or not Texas is going to be in on the Cal TE that’s set to enter the portal?
My dream scenario is Jayden Greathouse, but he seems set for the Irish. I would assume the top brass at the Vatican would step in and keep him in South Bend
Greathouse would be great. I'd rather have Wesco.
I would get the word out that Texas will blow Clemson's NIL out of the water.
Basketball is the most difficult sport to compare players from different eras with “statistics” as the basis of your argument. It’s like using lap times in F1 to determine who the greatest racer in history is.
When did he start going by "mookie"? Is this a new thing?
I'd feel better about stealing him if Klubnik wasn't at Clemson. Might have a better shot at Wesco next year when Cade goes pro.
Agree. Worst case scenario you force Clemson to pay more. And we all know how much Swinney HATES NIL. That alone would be worth it.
Ketch, how did the recruiting go with Wesco with Texas? Looking at his profile he visited summer 22. Trying to remember his recruitment
