    Can't help you there. It's stock footage of the stadium/campus with the audio from one of the IT Youtube broadcasts in the background. Gerry and Justin Wells say Texas killed the visit and involved the family. "That's how you win this recruitment." They say Texas leads at the end.

    It was Bobby and Justin, my bad. @Hiphopopotamos is right, there's more than stock footage. Looks like a potential commitment video.

    Someone smarter can figure out how to embed the duragmedia insta video?   (A 247 dude posted it.)

    Not much new in this article, but I did love the quote about Texas working tirelessly. I really get the feeling that our staff will not be outworked by anybody. If we lose out on any given recruit, it will not be because we didn't try hard enough. I don't think you could say that about Charlie Strong, Tom Herman, or even Mack Brown.

    Interesting that some of the more national publications are hinting at a summer timeline. It had only been the 995ers until the last couple of days.

    Arch Manning already had a busy June. The No. 1 prospect in the 2023 class took official visits to Alabama, Georgia and Texas and participated in a seven-on-seven camp at LSU.

    The quarterback’s visit to Austin, Texas, over the weekend is likely his last for a while. The summer dead period, which runs through July 24, begins Monday, and Nelson Stewart, his coach at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, told The Athletic that the coming weeks are a time for him to get with his family and figure out where he is in the recruiting process.

    “There’s no impulsivity to him,” Stewart said. “There’s no rush. When he knows, he knows.

    “Obviously he’s been going through this for seven years. We’re in the fourth quarter. It’s just about attention to detail and supporting him.”

    The Longhorns, who have maintained a strong position in his recruitment, did well on Manning’s visit, as they have during the multiple stops he has made on the Forty Acres prior. “He had a great trip,” Stewart said. He said the same of the visits to Alabama and Georgia. Manning, the son of Cooper and nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, has been asking questions, getting a feel for the campuses and continuing to develop relationships with the coaches.

    The last part is where head coach Steve Sarkisian and quarterbacks coach A.J. Milwee have excelled. Stewart praised their accessibility and joked that he talks to Milwee more than his wife. The pair talk to Manning weekly. Stewart called Sarkisian “authentic.”

    “There are real relationships,” Stewart said. “Texas is in this because they work tirelessly.”

    Though communication has been consistent, Stewart noted that Texas has done a good job of giving Manning space to work through his decision. The same applied to Manning’s teammate, 2023 tight end recruit Will Randle, who also spent the weekend on campus and committed to the Longhorns on Sunday morning.

    Randle camped at Texas a year ago. Stewart said Sarkisian called him from Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium while Randle was working out last June, gushing about how impressed he was. Randle’s commitment on Sunday created buzz because of his relationship with Manning, but their decisions are separate. Stewart said Randle, a three-star, “fell in love,” with Texas.

    At Newman, Randle plays tight end, H-back, edge rusher and on every phase of special teams. “He’s the best total player we’ve ever had,” Stewart said. Stewart credited Sarkisian, Milwee and tight ends and special teams coach Jeff Banks for their work recruiting Randle, who also considered Virginia, Alabama, Tulane and LSU.

    As for Manning, Texas is willing to wait as long as necessary. He’s the only quarterback Texas has offered, and Sarkisian said last month that he won’t panic if a player’s decision isn’t swift. Alabama took a commitment last month from four-star quarterback Eli Holstein, but Stewart said that “Arch is gonna compete wherever he goes” and that he doesn’t believe that such a development will make or break the recruitment. Georgia is still in heavy pursuit.

    While Manning’s exact timeline is still unclear, the process that began when Manning was in sixth grade is nearing its end. Stewart said there have been no major developments and any new information will come from Manning himself. As he mulls his decision, Manning will continue playing summer seven-on-seven, getting ready for the annual Manning Passing Academy and locking in on his high school football season.

    “When he’s ready, he’s ready,” Stewart said. “This is his private time. We’re just trying to give him the distance to formulate his own thoughts.

    "We’re not through yet, but getting closer.”

    Could be this weekend. Might not though. Could commit early, but might decide to wait. Family might push for something, but perhaps not. Ultimately it's his decision, one that he will make over some amount of time and with potential help from family.

    Fascinating.

    Per my source (Arch), it will be before the season, during the season, or after the season.

    Elite edge rusher Tausili Akana set for wild week
    BLAIR ANGULO

     

    The next week for Top247 edge rusher Tausili Akana could be the most hectic of any recruit this cycle.

    With eight unofficial stops planned over the next eight days, the elite prospect from Lehi (Utah) Skyridge intends to give every suitor a close look before narrowing his focus.

    Defending national champion Georgia is set to draw the first visit on Wednesday, followed by Tennessee (Jun. 2), Auburn (Jun. 3), Alabama (Jun. 4), LSU (Jun. 5), Texas A&M (Jun. 6), Baylor (Jun. 7) and, finally, Texas (Jun. 8).

    And the epic travels won't end there.

    Akana, the nation’s No. 31 overall prospect, No. 3 rated edge rusher and No. 1 in the state of Utah for the 2023 class, per the 247Sports rankings, has a couple official visits circled on the itinerary.


    LSU will get the first opportunity to make an impression with an official scheduled for the Jun. 17 weekend, while Oklahoma is set to host the talented defender for an official on the final weekend of July.

    Originally from the state of Hawaii, the Polynesian Bowl all-star and All-American Bowl selection has played his previous two seasons in the Beehive State and was credited with 78 total tackles, including 28 for a loss and 13 sacks, to help guide Skyridge to a state semifinal appearance last fall.

    Oregon will also get an unofficial visit the weekend of Jun. 24 before the start of another four-week recruiting dead period. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Akana has said he wants to take all five officials before making a college decision.

    The likes of Nebraska, BYU, Utah, Boise State, UCLA and USC have drawn visits from Akana this spring.

    With the recruiting calendar currently on the ever-important spring evaluation period and coaches scattered across the country, stay tuned to 247Sports for breaking news, insight and analysis as prospects from all classes continue to sort through their top contenders.

    By the TCU game, the season will be over. I think if @TexasEx is patient, he’ll find some suite holders who will pay him to take the obligation to attend off of their hands. 

    By then, the season is an abject failure or we’re playing for a bid to that weedeater bowl. One in the same.  Either way, this is about the experience. And a milestone birthday, celebrated closer to the beer, closer to the pisser, and with more shade than the plebs may enjoy. Perhaps an opportunity for someone to profit off the March Flavor Aid.

    Appreciate any leads. Doesn’t seem there’s a public market for these things.

  8. We live out of state and are planning to come to Austin for TCU @ Texas on 11/12. Have not seen a game live at DKR since the first time WVU came to Austin. We're planning to bring the kids to see their first game, along with a couple friends and their kids. Probably 7 adults and 5 kids total. Anyone know of a way to buy a box/suite for one game?
