Texas seems like a terrible choice, but I don't follow recruiting classes/know what they have in the pipeline that would lure Arch Manning to commit.

But I do know for a fact, that Arch committing to TX will draw a lot more recruit's eyes and thoughts on becoming longhorns themselves

when I ask my friends about their kid's baseball games, and they describe how it came down to the last inning or something, I imagine its more like this clip vs the suspense filled sports moment they spin
My eldest son just finished his 1st season of tee-ball last month... And I can confirm, what you see in that video is pretty damn accurate... A bunch of 4-5yr olds running around while the coaches herd them like cats. Maybe not quite as bad as that video, but there are always at least 3-4 kids out of the bunch that simply do not take coaching very well and are chasing butterflies en sech

we're going to try the "limited options" approach to start and let the kids figure out what they like/want to do, but will be actively steering them towards tennis, golf, soccer, basketball, and volleyball in the hopes that one of those sports will stick.

Good call. We started our boys both with soccer, just as a way to have fun, exercise & socialize. Not really about the sport itself at all. Then I spent a lot of time playing various sports in our backyard with both my boys during the pandemic. Luckily we have a 1/4 acre with plenty of grass to play most anything. He really latched onto baseball & basketball. And recently he saw a neighbor playing lacrosse so naturally he wants to try that now lol. I'm trying my best to steer him elsewhere. Eventually I'd love to get him into golf, but I fear he may be a little too hard on himself for that sport.

I could play soccer basketball or volleyball until my body can't go anymore, and have literally played all 3 for over 6hrs straight until I could barely walk back to the car. Soccer was the toughest cause my friends all played in college but I was just in shape and a runner so we would get drunk and smoke some funny cigarettes then go play four games of 7v7 in the middle of a cornfield in summer. Oh to be young again!
