Alabama Coach Nick Saban Shows Up To Arch Manning’s High School Basketball Game

Nick Saban recently lamented his dancing prowess when speaking on the incredibly awkward viral videos of LSU coach Brian Kelly dancing with recruits

Alabama Coach Nick Saban is now showing up to Arch Manning’s high school basketball games just two weeks after losing the National Title game to Georgia.

Is there any doubt that Manning is the top recruit for the 2023 class? Maybe he doesn’t turn out the best, but you better believe that every coach in the nation is hoping that he signs with them…in 2023! The best part of all of this is that this isn’t even his signing year.

Now if you haven’t heard of Arch Manning, then here is the quick background. No he isn’t the son of Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning. He isn’t even the son of Super Bowl winner Eli Manning. He is the son of Cooper Manning, their older brother who never made it big after his career was derailed by a spinal condition.

Arch Manning is the grandson of NFL great Archie Manning and the hype train continues to grow.

Saban was even in attendance to watch him play a sport that Alabama isn’t even hoping he will play!

Here’s the deal. Everyone knows how incredible Saban is as a coach and everyone also knows that he can groom the top talent to be NFL ready. Their former three QBs at Alabama are all enjoying a starting gig in the NFL; Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, and even Jalen Hurts.

Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin is no doubt doing his due diligence to acquire the top prospect as Ole Miss is a family tradition for the Mannings. Arch Manning’s father Cooper played there, his uncle Eli played there, and his grandfather Archie played there.

There is no official word on where Arch will play his ball after high school, but one has to expect it is going to be for a top brand college.

Here’s to hoping the kid lives up to the sky high expectations!
