Arch Manning commits

UGA hasn’t had much success with 5* QB’s. For all the hype for Stafford, he only got them a Sugar Bowl win. Shockley more or less was the backup for 3* David Greene. Quitcy was Quitcy before that.

I mean, Murray was a solid 4*, but UGA really wasn’t landing 5* QB’s like they are now. JT Daniels left USC after injury / getting beat out by Slovis. Never materialized at UGA. He’s now at WVU. Brock V is now waiting behind a 1* like Daniels was. But how can you bench someone who lead his team to an NC? You can’t. Odd enough, whomever is QB for UGA in 2023 will be CKS’s 1st elite QB he recruited.

I dunno...They have had some seriously talented dudes in the QB room since Kirby took over. I'd love for us to get 1 stud and go from there.

He recruited Justin Fields, didn't he?

Bowl Cut Kirbs? Yep. He also re-sealed the deal with that Eason kid. He then got Fromm and Fields in succession. Then got Vandagriff and Stockton. Thats a lot of talent.

It's hilarious with all that talent it was the 2 star walk on who won those idiots a natty.

Good call. I had actually forgotten about Eason. And of course he got hurt which lead to Fromm taking over. I didn’t count Fields, because he never started and transferred to tOSU because Fromm was the incumbent.

If you go by recruiting rankings, Simms was a highly touted 4*. We’ll see what the competition does against the Akron QB and the #2 at Clemson.

It's a between the ears for Sims. If the light bulb comes on as far as reading defenses & getting through his progressions.....the sky is the limit for him.
 
Interesting comments this week on XM Radio “Full Ride” by Mike Farrell and then Luginbill.

Farrell: “If his name was Arch Smith and not Manning he would be a high 3* at best….”

Luginbill: “While I wouldn’t say he’s a 3*, his performance in the Playoffs and against lower level competition, combined with what we’ve seen around the country in camps, let’s just say he won’t be a 5* when the updated rankings are released. There are at least 5 QB’s ahead of him right now….”
 
And now . . . he's just another backup. The guy who beat him out only completed 58% of his passes and threw a whopping 15 TDs versus 6 picks in ten games last year. And sports the most ridiculous mullet in the country.

Two words:

Cooper's kid.

Isn't that the guy who got a million dollars from Ohio State then went back down to TX?

It's the NIL model where you let teams big against each other and the sign with the highest bidder, show up for one year and collect your paycheck, and then transfer portal to the school you actually want to play for.

I don't know what the steady state of all this is going to be.

What if we are a school who ends up taking a lot of guys from the factories who didn't get playing time because the factories had other recruits that were better but we get cherry picked by the same factories for our guys who do well for us?

Which will be bigger - the usefulness of that inflow or the losses of the outflow?

We have an example this year with our WR. We lost McCollum but we got Leary (and will have Lane) who we never would have seen here.

We also have an inflow from smaller schools so we have the guy from Duquesne who we may have never seen either.

I can see us coming out ahead net vs. the old model where we mostly had to live with less.

LOL, so the kid enrolls early and doesn't get tagged the starter after his first 15 practices so he's a bust?

The one thing I worry about are the schools with endless resources that value football to the point they are willing to spend more than an NFL team's salary cap to stockpile kids. They could literally dip into a bottomless well of booster money to keep that backup 5-star happy or cherry pick GT's best player for a mercenary year.
