All the eggs are not and never will be in one basket. See our QB room? LOADED. That is probably the biggest thing working against UGA. Eggs are far from being in one basket. But Arch is simply a game-changer on a higher level than other really good QB's. And elite talent will follow him. If you do not pursue him all out though, you are not doing your job to the best of your ability and that mentality is what hurts programs long-term. Being in the conversation for all of the best talent out there, is what you want and where you want to stay. Keeps your program in the minds of the best players. He may go to Texas or Bama. Might come to UGA. It is Arch's choice in the end where he wants to spend his college years. Bama makes sense. Texas is riskiest. Ole Miss might be the choice! UGA campus and town might be where he wants to spend his college years. UGA is as good as the rest other than the loaded QB room. Where he goes, who knows. You hope you get him. If not them it will be OK. But if you get him, sky is the limit.
His dad refuted the ONE report that Arch was down to 2 schools and matter of fact added 2 more, LSU and Florida. Could be smokescreen, but one guy having an unconfirmed report, with visits still to be made in the next couple of months, it seems 2 schools may be leading the others right now, but does not meant that the rest are out of consideration or contention. Just sayin'. It would be awesome to get him, but if not that is OK. Kirby's defense will be here every year and the QB room certainly is far from bare. Arch would just elevate the program even higher, particularly with future recruits. That being said. if he does not come to UGA, I really hope he goes to Ole Miss.
Earl m MOST of what you said about AL is true. I said it last year, I said it this year and I will say it next year. As long as Saban is at AL recruiting #1 classes I will take AL vs the field every year. The Mannings don't strike me as people that are sellouts that will jump on the AL bandwagon. They may. We will see. I would say the jury is still out on Tua, Hurts and Mac. None have shown that they are even average NFL QB's after running up inflated numbers at AL surrounded by better players against over matched foes. BTW a UGA QB just won the SB. Football is a team game. As for the depth chart, I don't think a Manning will be deterred by a name in front of him. In fact, Peyton may advise Arch to go to a team where he doesn't have to start his 1st year. I am sure he remembers the beating he took as a rookie learning how to play on the next level. A year of apprenticeship seems to be way to go. Even Saban did it with Bryce Young with pretty good results. MS has 1 thing going for it. Archie, Cooper and Eli went there. I just don't see the Mannings entrusting their progeny to Lane Kiffin. The highlight of Lane's life as a man is that he is a football coach. The guy is a buffoon. He will do at least 3 things a season that are childish and embarrassing as the face of a program at a major university . The Mannings have too much class to associate with Lane Kiffin. It is highly probable that Arch would take a tremendous beating playing QB for MS. Why when you can pick a better team, any team? Again, maybe you will hear it this time, how CKS handled QB's as HC years 1-6 has no bearing on how he handles his QB situation going forward. I did not realize that CKS , at age 46, was incapable of any professional growth or personal change. Thank you for enlightening us all.
