Inside the ruthless recruitment of Arch Manning

ESPN article
Long article but worth a read. This part stood out to me though:

quote:The Daddy thing is weird and wow Pete Golding is a POS
NOBODY KNEW WHERE Arch Manning wanted to go to school. Some in the family preferred Georgia, where head coach Kirby Smart would coach him hard. Others, Alabama. The problem for Alabama was that Nick Saban -- whom the Crimson Tide assistants affectionally called "Daddy" -- was getting up there in years, and nobody knew how long he'd be there. Texas kept lingering. Competition was so fierce that everything was fair game. It was public record that Steve Sarkisian had battled alcoholism, a disease that nearly cost him his career. Sark had rebuilt his life and work in recovery. But during one Zoom call with Arch, Golding was discussing Alabama's schematics and culture, and then he went there. "I love Sark," Golding said. "He's my best friend." He paused. "I hope he can stay sober." After the Zoom ended, Stewart called Golding. "Pete, that's f---ed up!" Golding knew. He had no choice. "Daddy's on me."

Damn, Pete.
I realize this is a multi-billion dollar industry and you have to be kind of a cutthroat sociopath to succeed in recruiting, but Jesus, Pete.

This is clearly the most disturbing revelation in the article.

All the players clamoring for NIL claiming CFB was slavery must've been from the SEC.
Weird a grown man would refer to his boss like it was his pimp.

I thought it was a good article.
Wasn’t familiar with Wickersham but he presented it well. Didn’t smell his own farts with the prose like some long-form guys do.
