00:00 There is a new development in recruiting race for 2023 quarterback Arch Manning.
00:04 I'm Claudette Montana-Pattison with SI Right Now joined by recruiting analyst for Sports Illustrated
00:09 John Garcia Jr. John, can you name some front runners in the race for Arch Manning as of now?
00:15 Well Claudette, the three schools that we've been projecting with the most regarding Arch
00:21 Manning's recruitment are confirmed to be the three in the driver's seat today. Georgia,
00:27 Alabama and Texas. He confirmed Monday are the three schools that he remains in consistent
00:33 communication with and each of them should receive an official visit before Manning is ready to make
00:39 his verbal commitment. Now what's interesting about Arch among many other things of course
00:44 is that other schools are still in the race. He mentioned potential unofficial visits to both
00:49 Florida and LSU to check out those new coaching staffs before making a final decision and that
00:55 kind of pushes his timeline a little bit deeper into the year than maybe we originally considered.
01:01 I know late last fall he was talking about getting something done around the new year perhaps early
01:06 into the spring. Now it looks like late summer maybe all the way into the fall before Manning
01:12 is going to be done with the recruiting process and with new coaching staffs in the mix who could
01:17 blame him right? He's only the number one quarterback in the country so it looks like
01:22 the ball remains in in the court of Kirby Smart, Nick Saban and Steve Sarkeesian at those three
01:27 schools but Brian Kelly and Billy Napier, one new to Louisiana, one having left Louisiana from
01:33 Florida are going to factor into this thing before all is said and done. But the big takeaway in
01:38 addition to the timeline is the three schools that remain at the top of this race and that again is
01:44 Georgia, Alabama and Texas. So make the predictions where you where you may but for Arch Manning I
01:50 think this thing's going to extend a little bit longer than we thought.
