Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars

Featured Replies

Spoiler

The race to land Five-Star Plus+quarterback Arch Manning – the nation’s No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2023 – has taken another twist.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Texas Longhorns now lead in the battle to land Manning, the scion of one of America’s top sporting families and the star signal-caller out of New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman.

The Longhorns now have a 38.1% chance of landing Manning. Texas’ move to the top spot is a big development, but so is the shift in the second-place spot. Georgia is now second, according to the On3 RPM, with a 32.5% chance followed by Alabamaat 27.2%. 

The Crimson Tide had been in the No. 1 slot after he visited Tuscaloosa 19 days ago. Before the shift on Thursday, Alabama was listed by the On3 RPM with a 36.8% chance of landing Manning.

There’s also been another shift in the On3 RPM that’s linked with Manning’s recruitment. Alabama is now listed by the On3 RPM with an 81.3% chance of landing four-star quarterback Eli Holstein out of Zachary (La.) High.

Holstein’s recruitment – maybe more than any other quarterback in the class – is linked with Manning. Both have Alabama offers and could commit to the Crimson Tide. But neither has yet to pull the trigger.

Arch Manning focused on 3 schools

The eyes of the football world are on Arch Manning, the son of Cooper Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli, and the grandson of Archie.

Manning has taken meaningful visits to Alabama, Georgia and Texas over the last six weeks and the battle is on between those three schools.

According to the latest intel from On3’s Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons, the Longhorns, Crimson Tide and Bulldogs all feel good about where they stand with Arch Manning.

“Depending on who you talk to, you hear it is a different two schools at the top,” Simmons reported three days ago. “The school I have heard the most about consistently is Alabama with Bill O’Brien being the leader in Manning’s recruitment. Not far behind though is his connection with Steve Sarkisian of Texas and Buster Faulkner at Georgia.

“Schools like Florida, LSU and Ole Miss have tried to stay in this race. But it is a three-team race. The question now is, when will Manning make his decision?”

Simmons also reported all three schools in the mix seem to be cautiously optimistic about their chances to land Manning.

Breaking news: we were way too reactionary on his Bama visit, so we are going to write an article saying words to adjust our stupid pick from before.

Likely not as predictive as its name (Recruiting Prediction Machine aka RPM) is clunky

Sorry for the diversion, but all this long jump talk gets me nostalgic for perhaps the greatest outlier in sports history.

Niblett, Pettaway, and Cook.  Anything after that is just extra goods (if we even take more than three).

Of the receivers we have offered, my pecking order would be:

Johntay Cook

Jalen Brown

Ryan Niblett

Kyle Parker

Pettaway

Jalen Hale

Jaden Greathouse

The field

Any 3 of those top 7 guys and I won't have any complaints.

If DeAndre Moore has any serious interest in us, I'd put him way up there too.

And I'm not so sure about Parker. I don't think he's fast enough to overcome his size.

this is wrong. Jonah Wilson is a major priority.

Its not about the staff priority, just my own personal wish list. Re: Parker, I just think he has the opportunity to be one of those maddening Welker/Amendola slot demons.

You'd take the summer 995 camp circuit or 7v7 nonsense over track season?

It's both very relevant to football and admittedly very boring. Just skim it til the track nerds/statheads say whether it's noteworthy or not.

Or check to see whether a guy like Jamaal Shaw can get to even "not bad" in the speed department.

Why? Track and getting football players who excel in track is the best way to turn things around because it creates differences in teams that can’t be coached. It’s how Baylor built up as well as other guys. Multi sport athletes >

It's also, for many kids, the first set of quantitative data that is available to help put their on-football field achievements into perspective. 

Is that guy who's running past defenders in 4A panhandle games really fast, or is the competition slow? Oh he ran a 10.37 100m. He's really that fast.

What about that DL that is constantly mauling 5'8 210 lb private school linemen. Is he really that strong? Oh, he threw the shot put 70+ ? Dude is hella strong and likely can be taught technique. 

Yeah fuck track and fuck any other sports that football players partake in because you know, we don't wanna see their athleticism on display anywhere else. /s

On another note, wish wrestling was bigger in Texas. Great sport for the linemen.

Really? How many universities in Texas have NCAA sanctioned wrestling teams? Serious question.

For them to have this attendance with the shit product and roster they have right now is baffling. I guess the same could be said for us last year.
