When it’s all said and done next year, Texas basketball will have faced the newest member of Texas Tech Mac McClung at least three times in two seasons.

Hitting the NCAA Transfer Portal has been a move explored on and off by the head coach of the Texas basketball program Shaka Smart. Texas hit the transfer portal two offseasons ago to land guard Elijah Mitrou-Long, but he only stuck around for one season on the Forty Acres before he left just as quick as he landed there.

One name that stuck out that hit the transfer portal this offseason, even for the fans of the Texas Longhorns basketball program, is former high school sensation and Georgetown Hoyas 6-foot-2 and 185 pound guard Mac McClung.
