Texas Recruiting

It won’t hurt Arch to redshirt a year and develop if he’s willing to do that.
Yeah supposedly the family doesn’t want arch to be viewed as the savior of a program. Well sit behind a probable 1st round pick for a year(at least Quinn hopes he’s a first round pick)
 
We have a really nice class but we aren't going to be much better next year. If we are starting true freshman lineman then we are in trouble. They may have some major talent but the strength and speed of guys in power 5 conferences is on another level. They are going to get pushed around.

The defense also has some issues outside of LB. We got some talented kids coming in but we need major help with edge rushers (either DE or OLB) and Safety. Hopefully we can address this when the next round of transfers shake out after spring ball.
Counting last years class our team will dominated by freshman true and redshirt. How many upperclassman can we count on next year not many.
 
One thing about Arch. If we get him that probably gives us a timeline on the SEC move. I imagine promises have been made that Arch will play in the SEC
 
Perhaps the OL haul, NIL and Sark+Cutcliff, not to mention Patterson as a defensive analyst, shows as big of a commitment to winning as you can possibly get.
Yep. Word is the family have always liked Sark, and the reasons are obvious he’s arguably the best QB coach out there. And your right the OL he will be playing behind in nest couple years looks to be really good
 
Check this out. If this is even half true, it clearly explains how Aggy was able to secure the top recruiting class. Insane how much NIL these guys are getting. Over $100k a year plus a $50k bonus upon graduation.

 
Word on the street is that Florida is now a strong darkhorse for Arch Manning....he and his have always liked the new coach.....
 
Apparently the feeling now is that Arch is now down to Texas and Bama. Ole Miss and Clemson out. Check out this recruiting insider give his take on his recruitment. He believes Cutcliffe to Texas will loom big in his decision.

I'm not a fan of hiring coaches so that we can get recruits. This reeks of the Chris Simms era IMO. I would rather he go elsewhere. There is too much entitlement wrapped up in the Mannings. His level of competition has not been that great.

It’s not just about him. Sign him, and a massive wave of recruiting momentum follows. Yes, we need him.

EDIT: As for Cutcliffe, it’s a win to have him on staff, Manning or no Manning.

This is spot-on! No doubt that IF Manning were to end up at Texas it would be a huge boon to recruiting momentum.

I've been one to say that I don't think that Manning ends up at Texas. However, it seems that things are trending much better for Texas with him. Fingers crossed.
 
I don’t think Cutcliff being here is just about arch manning. It certainly helps, but I think it’s more about Sark creating an environment like Alabama where you have as many of the best minds you can get around your program.
 
A few weeks back Mike Farrell of Rivals said that an inside source told him Arch absolutely wants to play early. (Take that for what its worth)
If true and next years starter ends up being a stud, I doubt he comes here to wait his turn.

Then it's ol miss. He's not supplanting Ewers and he won't hop anyone at bama or jawja.
 
Hes not likely to start as a freshman at Bama. I can't imagine his goal is to start early. If that's what he wants then going to a great team can't be his objective. He doesn't need money. Everything is laid out for him if he just follows through with the process.

I don’t think playing as a freshman is really that much of a priority. If it was Texas would probably already be out.
 
Interesting development from Ohio St. Senior CB Sevyn Banks. He’s withdrawn from the NFL draft pool and has entered the transfer portal this week. All Big 10 selection and was projected to be one of the top 15 CB’s in this year’s draft. He apparently wants to take advantage of his Covid year and improve his draft status for next season. Texas has expressed their interest. He would be an immediate starter.

That's what I'm saying. If starting early is his objective then he's going to a second rate school.

If we get him, Jamison might as well transfer, because he ain’t playing here. I’m all for it.
 
I really hope Jamison isn't playing anyways. He's had his chances and has proved he isn't very good. He needs to be a return specialist and that's it.
He might not. He’s gonna get pushed for that spot as it is. Sevyn Banks would just seal the deal. He’s out.
 
Banks is no sure deal. He has injury issues and did not play that much at tosu..the reason he opted out of the draft was he was going to be like the 13th rated cb on the board..

Not too many Dion's in the portal

Brenen Thompson has some wheels! He ran the 200 in 21.27. For reference Marquise Goodwin ran the 200 in 21.24. Between him and Keilan we are going to have some elite speed on offense.

Exactly the type of dudes Sark wants on offense. Really need someone to step up opposite of Worthy. Certainly have guys capable someone needs to do it.

I think Neyor is that dude. Already hearing good things about him in the offseason program. Then you got Omeire, Washington, Whittington, and Thompson that makes for a pretty solid receiving corp. Wouldn't mind seeing Keilan get some snaps in the slot. With his speed I would like to see him be a little more involved with the offense this season.
