Arch Manning's Visit to Texas

That must be why Arch signed at Texas. He's never been exposed to nice things before his official visit to Texas.

That wasn't the point....point was just how much universities are spending on kids

 

[Caculator]

I bet he is excited after the bammer game

Do you think Arch's visits were typical recruit visits?

They're not spending that kind of cash on random recruits. Arch is possibly a generational talent and arguably merits that expense. Most kids don't.

Unless there was some serious "entertainment" on that lake cruise, I don't see how that list adds up to $280k.

Didn't a USC booster drop $300k on Reggie Bush 20 years ago? I forget what the total on Cam was rumored to be in '09. And that's just the seagull poop on the tip of the iceberg.

There's nothing new about players costing lots of money.

I wonder if he'll wind up a Texas never was like Chris Simms.

Showing they had the balls to try an ice sculpture in June in Austin closed the deal.

That would be nice...& not unexpected.

Cooper said Johnny Walker Blue for the open bar all weekend or no go.

Which should give you an indication of how much universities like Texas are making off the backs of those kids.

Eh, I can see it.

That's 28k per recruit. Plus 2 "guardians" that's 9k+ per person. At least 1k travel. Probably 1-2k hotel stay. Fine dining is probably another thousand per person.

And I am willing to be that list wasnt all inclusive. I am sure there was plenty of other stuff going on like merch, shopping, going to some event, and popping around to the must see places.

An open bar just for Cooper and Mom? Cooper needs to lay off the sauce!

I’m sure they had a legends event of some sort.

I am thinking you think this a new trend?.. or is this a blue font i didnt pick on?

 

[Volfan1000]

Texas is following the SEC slogan "It just means more" in the recruiting arena.

 

[tbh]

It was the ice sculpture that sealed the deal, no doubt. If programs can't offer the finest in frozen artisanal water forms, what *can* they truly offer?

Overheard on the lake cruise: "Somebody chip a piece off that big ice cow for me, my drink's getting warm!"

I don't even think he's the best QB in this class. I wouldn't trade Nico Iamaleava for him.

As far as what Texas spent on his visit is concerned, in order to really impress the Mannings with amenities, it would take a different level of sophisticated luxury than would be necessary to impress the family of most recruits. These people don't fly coach. I doubt Texas would go to this extreme for anyone else.

I'll agree about the Manning family being used to the better things in life but like many here I want to believe the Manning family "can't be bought like that."

As for Arch vs Nico, both seem to have the tools to be elite and it's well above my pay grade to judge QBs at that level. I think Nico will receive better coaching and a better environment to grow his talent than Arch will at Texas.
