Elite 2023 quarterback prospect Arch Manning commits to Texas over Georgia
ATHENS — The No. 1 recruit in the 2023 signing class has chosen the University of Texas over Georgia.

Well, I guess that was to be expected. At least it wasn't Bama.
I guess he didn’t want to win.
Go find an elite QB that want's to be at the helm of the Dawgs.
All those people who gave me crap because I said I just had a gut feeling he would go to Texas and it was my opinion…in yo face, lol!
He obviously didn't believe he could beat out our Qb's.
Well, our QB room is set for a while with Beck, Vandagriff and Stockton.
No new QB controversy will be caused by the addition of Manning.
Can only see positives here.
Go Dawgs!
He prefers being the next Eli Manning - best college season was a #13 finish but earned $235 million in NFL contracts alone - over (for example) Jacob Coker, who won a national title but never made a dime in the NFL. Peyton Manning didn't prioritize college titles either. Otherwise, he would have gone to Washington, Miami, Alabama, Nebraska (who would have changed their offense for him), Colorado (ditto), Notre Dame (same), Georgia Tech or FSU, all of whom had won recent national titles (remember this was the old system where Washington/Miami and Colorado/Georgia Tech shared titles). Or he could have gone to Florida who was obviously going to win one soon (which they did Manning's junior year). Instead he went to Tennessee, who last won a title in 1951.
The Mannings care about money. The Manning clan infamously forced their way out of San Diego merely because you can earn a lot more endorsement money in New York. So yes, you can basically chalk the Manning's choosing Texas - who hasn't won a title or had a first round draft pick on offense since Vince Young gave them both circa the 2005 season - to Texas oil money. NIL folks. Plain as day. Let's see Saban call them out. But you know he won't because he only goes after easy targets like the Aggies.
Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with Texas oil money and NIL right? Of course it doesn't ...
It'd be great if Monken et al could work a miracle to by catching up on a prospect like Dante Moore, but that's an uphill climb. I hope this doesn't hurt us in recruiting a five-star WR this year like Jalen Brown or Hykeem Williams.
Still, if things break well this season, our scoring offense could rise to one of the top five. And after this year, we'll have three high-potential QBs in Beck, Vandagriff and Stockton.
Manning would have been exciting. But the Dawgs' future still looks brighter than any other program's.
Funny thing, Tennessee won a National Title..the year AFTER Manning left. If I remember correctly, the QB who led the Vols to a NC that season was Tee Martin.

Honestly seen this a long time ago. Our QB room is loaded to the gills at the moment. How are we gonna hand out hopes a true freshman will beat out guys years in the system? If we had a bunch of no-name qbs in our roster, maybe. But our QBs were highly recruited also. So good luck to him in Texas.💯
