Here is a good view of the zip on Arch's passes.

I know there have been some folks wondering which quarterbacks stood out the most during the weekend in Thibodaux for the Manning Passing Academy. Here are some takeaways from the weekend. *** Washington QB Demond Williams Jr. was named the Air It Out Challenge winner at the Friday Nite Lights portion of the camp. The Air It Out Challenge included four targeted throws – one to the flats, one of the middle, one to the corner while rolling out and a deep shot to a net in the end zone about 35 yards downfield. Georgia Tech QB Haynes King actually had a really good showing in this challenge as well. He went 4-4 on his first run of hitting targets. Quarterbacks that threw on Thursday that impressed: Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson UNC QB Gio Lopez Clemson QB Cade Klubnik Texas Tech QB Behren Morton – One of the big takeaways for me was just wide LaNorris Sellers' frame is. He certainly looks like a full back at times in pads, and seeing him in person only confirmed that his frame is unique for a quarterback. Special player. – LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier looked good in the camp setting. Of course, accuracy and putting the ball where it needs to go has never been his issue. Nuss' concerns stem from pressure, where he folded several times a year ago. – I still think there is some Sam Ehlinger to Sam Leavitt's game. He is a fine throwing of the football, nothing extraordinary, but his real value comes from being a gamer. Someone that will lower his head and will his team to victory. Going to be a really interesting year for Leavitt without Cam Skattebo by his side in the backfield. – Duke QB Darian Mensah is going to be a very fun watch in the ACC this year. Big fan of his. It was fun talking with Oklahoma QB John Mateer at the camp. I had not seen him since he was at Little Elm and committed to Central Arkansas at the time. He told me he never envisioned leaving Washington State, though when the Sooners hired Ben Arbuckle from Wazzu, he knew it was a move that made a lot of sense. Throwing wise, there are some concerns about the height in which Mateer releases his passes from. But ultimately, I don't envision it being an issue. Folks like to point out the competition level at Wazzu last year as a knock on Mateer as well, I don't buy it. He's a very talented football player. – My questions on Georgia QB Gunnar Stockton remained unanswered. I actually did not know he was in attendance for the camp until Friday night. The few passes I watched of his were overthrown or errant. – I am a believer in Alabama QB Ty Simpson in the Kalen DeBoer offense. Simpson looked really sharp this weekend when getting to the top of his dropback. *** On Arch Manning Again, Arch didn't throw on Thursday when the camp counselors first arrived for an hour session with Eli and Peyton Manning. But he did throw on Friday under the lights. How much can you really take from ~8 throws or so? Not much. The quarterbacks were split alphabetically into two groups, which slotted Manning and Mateer in consecutive order. It was very interesting to compare the zip and velocity of passes off of the hand from both. There was more loft to Mateer's passes and more zip to Manning's. Again, take that for whatever you want. Technically speaking, the throwing form for Manning is exactly what you would expect. Pristine and without wasted movements. Arch went 2-4 in the Air It Out Challenge that was mentioned above. *** Quarterbacks not in attendance: Florida QB DJ Lagway – was at Texas HS State 7v7 tournament Oregon QB Dante Moore Ohio State QB Julian Sayin Marcel Reed was in attendance, but he did not throw on the weekend.

Probably 2 hi’s

I appreciated getting kicked in the 🥜 prior to the holiday weekend. It’ll be nice to enjoy the 4th again.

All 3 veterans are most worthy.

I have long thought they were very unspecific and completely worthless.

Doubt it. Magic owned Bird. To say nothing about Kareem. But I'm sorry for hijacking boys.

Just did a quick search and it seems that the consensus is the Griffin will commit to Alabama. Bummer.

There are Zero HI’S out there the sky is falling it’s time to jump off a cliff (did I do that right) 😂🤘

H ighly I nterested but not commited

Hi is the new maybe 🤣

It all changes quickly. How about we’re in their top two. Not expecting to land Griffin or Henderson at all.

Legit??

It’s more common than you think. See it quite a bit around here.

wtf is going on in this thread

It’s 12-12 at Texas, 10-5 the last 2 years. We know you don’t like Sark. We get it. You’ve made it clear on every message board you’ve been on, and at this point you’ve probably been on all of them. You are beating a dead horse at this point.

How did this turn into a kobe thread?

Someone needs their meds….

The current No. 62 is Connor Robertson:

Skill position player days can’t come soon enough 😭

We down to 62 days away before the Longhorns square off against the Buckeyes to open the season. Who is your favorite No. 62 to play at Texas? Options today include… Lyle Sendlein June James Bob McKay

His record vs top 25 teams is 28-11. For comparison Sark is 7-19, 6-9 at Texas.

You know what else Kirby’s team has more than sarks? Mugshots

If you do this at a minimum (keep in mind, Texas may do better at some spots), this is another stacked class which is all you want. Where would it rank? If that’s important to you, it would be safely in the top 7. Give me “stacked” over where you finish in the top 7. one elite OT (Turntine or Ojo) one TE (Kent, Prothro or Browne) one of Henderson or Carlton 2 of Rouse, Griffin, Okpala or Atkinson Matthews Guervil Which makes Matthews and Guervil 2 really important battles to win.

Would be great to land them, but I think Texas is gone land Atkinson for some reason. Carlton is gone be a longhorn. Either one of them is a bonus
