Isn’t Arch Manning almost a lock to Mississippi?

Georgia spent 3.6mil that’s an insane amount.

He's committed to Texas.

For the year, not 1 weekend.

He's committed to Texas.

But has he signed? Commitments flip all the time, especially in college football.

True, but hard to call him a lock to Mississippi while he's committed elsewhere.

Oh I wasn't saying that, I'm just saying its not a lock he ends up at Texas. Weird stuff happens in recruiting especially now with NIL.

Makes sense. I only assumed. I don’t follow football recruiting much. I based my thoughts on a conversation I had with a high school coach about a year ago. He told me he was at a camp I guess Arch attended and the talk there was that Arch was going to Ole Miss. my fault for assuming. He did say that the kid was pretty damn good.

Well a lot of people assumed that because of Archie and Eli's connection to the school. People originally assumed Peyton was going there too, until Tennessee dropped some McDonald's bags back in the day.

Or did they use Wendy's bags back then?

The Mannings hate Lane Kiffin. There’s never been a snowballs chance in hell he’s go there.

Texas paid the most and won the battle. Simple as that.

Texas spent 2.7 mil for the year. Not bashing what Georgia spent just that they’re leading at 3.6 mil. That’s still an insane amount of money

Yep, that was the word the entire process with Arch. As long as Kiffin is at OM Arch wasn't going there. True or not I don't know.

Gotta pay if you want to win.
Willing to bet he was introduced to some NIL collective affiliates while there too.

Smoke'em if you got'em I always say. I won't hate on a school for using their resources

I can totally see Manning flipping to Ole Miss as Quinn Ewers looks like the real deal at Texas, so one of them would have to sit next year, so if it’s Ewers he’d transfer. Hard to see Manning wanting to be a part of that mess.
