    Arch Manning and Will Randle

    These Five-Star Plus+ quarterback and his tight end teammate are expected to take their official visits to Texas on June 17-19. That’s the word going through recruit circles and it’s one we feel confident in reporting even if the adults we talk to are hesitant to discuss it.

    Texas would have preferred the following weekend but that’s when the Manning Passing Academy is scheduled. The dead period will go into effect the Monday following that weekend, and other than the last weekend in July, there won’t be any other opportunity to take summer official visits.

    Given that, it would probably be a safe assumption Arch will take official visits to Georgia and maybe Alabama before the UT visit but we haven’t heard that’s the case. 

    We tried asking around about Georgia like we were Georgia reporters but continued to hear more of what we’d already heard and reported. What does Arch like about Georgia? Athens, head coach Kirby Smart, and offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who utilizes a pro-style offense and maximizes quarterbacks. Smart is viewed as a great program builder.

    Those are solid arguments but can be combatted. Monken likely won’t be there much longer and for every walk-on they’ve developed, more highly rated quarterbacks have sat the bench or transferred.

    Of course, they just won the national championship and Texas has more questions, they’re just of a different variety.

     

    Wtf does that mean

    Saban will probably somewhat walk back his comments and frame it as commentary on the post-NIL landscape and not A&M doing anything illegal (which of course everyone knows is bullshit, but whatever it’s college football). Nothing will happen to A&M, and anyone hoping otherwise probably thinks Waddle is on his way to Austin.

    That pc was greatness. Overtly threatening Saban and Bama is an interesting choice, especially when you are provably guilty as fuck. 

    Fisher is crazy enough and aggies are dumb enough to take info from Fisher and go start digging trying to show proof of Saban’s dirtiness. They just might succeed in alienating everyone in college athletics and wind up being forcibly thrown out on their ass from the SEC. They can’t help themselves. 

    Bryce Anderson’s family didn’t take a dime during his recruitment. I will laugh my ass off if Fisher and the aggie PR team try to trot him, and the few other highly ranked guys that they didn’t actually pay, out in front of the cameras to attest to the aggie recruiting sanctity. Those parents all now know that other players’ handlers got paid. You think they want to look like chumps?

    Hell, Walter Nolan got $750k and that dumbfuck’s family is already trying to renegotiate their deal. This could wind up imploding gloriously. Denver Harris’ mom got $50k the first day he went to class. Evan Stewart wound up with half a million. Aggies would be well advised to shut the fuck up and hide in the shadows after all of that. But, no, they can’t help themselves. They NEED everyone to believe they were clean and above board when, absurdly, they know for fucking certain that they weren’t. Insane. 

    Early indication is guys they did pay are speaking already and touching on the subject.

    HOUSTON — When it comes to quarterbacks, there are some areas where Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian knows an expedited decision could be in his program’s best interest.

    Speaking to gathered crowds on Wednesday at the Touchdown Club of Houston and at the final stop of the Texas Exes Texas Fight tour, Sarkisian knew he would be questioned plenty about the quarterback situation considering the ongoing battle between Hudson Card and Quinn Ewers.

    As he typically does, he extolled both players for their work during the program’s recent 15 practices.

    He mentioned Ewers could make every throw and is very coachable. He praised Card for improvement during his second year in Sarkisian’s offense and for his ability to move the ball down the field. Sarkisian even found a chance to compliment Maalik Murphy, who he mentioned will be healthy during summer workouts and going into fall camp.

    But speaking about the top two, Card and Ewers, Sarkisian said he looked forward to overseeing a quarterback competition that would take place not just in preseason camp, but during summer workouts as well.

    Beginning this summer, the NCAA will permit Sarkisian and his ten on-field assistant coaches to practice skill work with a football for two hours per week, totaling 16 hours during the course of the summer. Concerning Texas, those 16 hours have mostly been associated with preparing the offensive linemen in the 2022 class for game action during the fall.

    In addition to the linemen gaining some reps, the quarterbacks will also reap the benefit of an extra two-thirds of a day of practice. Sarkisian will also have more data to work with when it comes time to name a starter.

    When speaking to the Texas Exes crowd, Sarkisian was a little softer with his choice of words: “I know all of y’all want me to make the call sooner rather than later, but the reality of it is we’re going to make the call we feel is right for us and what’s best for our team. We’re going to play the guy that we think gives our team the best chance to be successful, not the guy we think is going to play the best. It’s about what’s best for our team to win games.”

    When speaking to the Touchdown Club, he was a bit more direct.

    “At some point, I got to make the call,” Sarkisian said. “I’m like you all, the sooner I can make that decision the better for everybody. The better for you so you’ve got crap to talk about while chopping it up, and better for us and for our team. We’ve got to behoove ourselves to make that happen.”

    When it comes to quarterbacks, there are some areas where Sarkisian knows a patient approach could be in his program’s best interest.

    Texas is in full pursuit of Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning out of New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman.

    Manning, the No. 1 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus, remains uncommitted. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Florida are schools he recently named as in contention with the Longhorns for his services. Manning also mentioned he could commit at any time — before the season, during the season, or after the season.

    While Sarkisian couldn’t talk about Manning specifically, his words at the Touchdown Club on Wednesday indicated the lengths he’s willing to go through to sign a signal-caller from football’s first family.

    “If I didn’t feel good about a situation, I would go in another direction,” Sarkisian said. “I feel pretty good about our track record. I could probably get a quarterback committed today, but ideally I’d like to recruit the best guys. That’s how you build your roster, so we’re going to stay the course.”

    Some situations require a good amount of urgency, while others necessitate patience. Sarkisian will have to balance the need for both over the course of the summer when it comes to what he calls the most important position in sports.

    I have this little small area in front of a porch on a property we just purchased. I want to remove those existing plants and put the following around the edges of this with rounded off to the right side of the porch:

     

    Decorative Rock | Castroville, San Antonio, TX | Landscape Solutions &  Nursery

    I want to replace the mulch that is currently there with white crushed limestone or white rocks and do a dessert type shorter plants in the front. Any recommendations on dessert style plants?
