Basketball is gonna be fun again ! Can’t wait !
Must admit, I was pulling for Blanks, but he is a really good coach at Tech, looking forward to seeing what he does at Texas.

RECRUITING MATTERS
RB Tavorus Jones, El Paso Burges (2022):
The West Texas tailback and Texas continue to trend favorably. UT wants two in 2022, and with Jamarion Miller looking unlikely, and TreVonte Citizen still scheduling visits, the staff has increased dialogue with the four-star.
Jones will visit Texas on June 18th-20th for an official visit, assuming the NCAA lifts the dead period ban.
QB Arch Manning, Isidore Newman (New Orleans, LA) (2023):
Texas’ lone commit for 2023, Rueben Owens, is quite the recruiter himself.
When the El Campo native isn’t winning gold in district track, he’s reaching out to other junior-to-be prospects about joining the class.
One guy he’s focusing on is Arch Manning. Manning is supposed to take a few unofficials this summer with a group of 2023 prospects and Austin is in the discussion.
The New Orleans native is the top rated passer for 2023 and holds Steve Sarkisian in the highest esteem. LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Clemson are thought to be the top compe ion for one of the most famous names in football.

Just a very quick note about freshman early enrollee WR Jaden Alexis: Texas has only had two full practices this spring, but it is interesting to consider a few things regarding the 4-star newcomer from Coconut Creek, FL. At today's media availability, Steve Sarkisian mentioned that Alexis is one of the players who is standing out to him the most thus far. Alexis had a very strong offer list, including Alabama, and clearly many on the new Texas staff knew Alexis from their respective times with the Crimson Tide in recruitment. Furthermore, when I went to Michael Johnson Performance in DFW prior to Spring Break, I asked Texas WR Jordan Whittington who had stood out to him most during winter workouts prior to spring ball, although I didn't report it at the time. His answer: Jaden Alexis, noting his speed and how well he's looked in strength and conditioning work. Things appear to be coming together in ways that point to Alexis being a player to keep an eye on this spring as a possible breakout. He's coming on strong at the very least; we'll see if it continues.
