Arch Manning commits to Texas

[Red Dragon Coog]

Huge step up from the AAC. All of us newcomers are gonna have to step up the recruiting even further in order to be able to keep up.

NOLA - surprised Tulane wasn't ever a consideration.*

Ain't official until the ink is dry

On the NIL agreement or his letter of intent?

 

[Shark19]

Weird as they just picked up Quinn Ewers, the #1 QB in a recent class.

Does Quinn's first year at OSU (which was actually his senior year of HS) count as an official year?

In the sense, can Quinn get drafted after 2 years at Texas?

 

[Central Floridave]

Cool. He will potentially be playing in the bounce house 2023/2024.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Not sure why the Mannings don’t like Lane. They pretty much have to hate him to not let Arch go there. People actually think the Mannings are trying for NIL deals when everyone in family is worth millions?

 

[goodknightfl]

No surprise there. esp now they are going SEC. I expect the NIL $$$ was big there, and yes I think it matters.

Sooooo I just watched his highlight tape for the first time just to see what all the hype is about. Is nobody going to talk about him playing his games vs Florida JV level talent?? This is just one clip but the whole tape looks like this.

Ive thought the same thing. Is he really a trevor lwrence 5 star talent? Or is he a 3 star with manning as his last name?

 

[Central Floridave]

We need to recruit #55 with that Nice downfield block. But, yes overall unimpressed.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I think he’ll be better than Lawrence.

 

[Gwoz]

The same people saying he is only a 5 star because of his name would have said the same thing about Peyton and Eli.

Eli was a fraction of what payton was. Arch looks more like eli

Is he playing the local pee wee team?

 

[U C to the F]

His team was small, slow and unimpressive. But I don’t know what y’all were watching, Arch Manning looked legit, just on a team that was on a different level than him.

Eli was #1 overall NFL draft pick and finished 3rd for Heisman Voting. I think Arch would settle for being like Eli.

And won a Super Bowl.

But lets face it, Eli was never really elite.

 

[Gwoz]

But lets face it, Eli was never really elite.

Agreed he is not on Peyton or Brady level. But the guy was #1 draft pick, won two super bowls, both times he was the super bowl MVP, and multiple top player awards in College. He is in the top 1% in terms of accomplishments for a QB.

Regardless if he was not an elite passer, he has had a better career than except a handful of QBs. There is elite passers that won't be remembered, because they didn't win anything.

I agree. Maybe Arch will live up to the hype, but maybe he wont. Lots of 5 stars peak in hs. Arch played against weak comp so he will need to prove himself
