The QB race at Texas will be interesting. Last year's top QB signed with Ohio State for $1M, then when the state of Texas approved NIL, he transferred to UT. And UT announced giving $50,000 to each O Lineman. This is just buying players and this whole thing needs some kind of regulation, not to mention the immediate transfer rule.
Texas needs a player like Arch. Arch will thrive at Texas. I like it, because I'm a die hard Saints fan (since Archie Manning days) and I will get to see and hear about Arch taking Texas back to where they want to be, on top of the college football rankings. It's going to be fun. I wish Arch the best.
I want to add, that we (UL) should have beaten Texas this year, they were beatable. If we had any kind of passing game, we would have been competitive. We didn't and we weren't. It was all Texas. I've been saying for years, we need an excellent passing game to beat better talented teams. I hope Des can bring this to the Cajuns. Until that happens, we will only beat G5 teams. 1 game against Iowa State, does not make us capable, and remember we had some great passes in that game. We could not sustain that kind of offense. It was more of a fluke. We need consistency in the passing game.
I’ve seen Arch Manning play in person twice over the last two years. And two other times on TV.
I’m by no means saying he’s not a talented kid, but I will say that if his last name was Smith or Jones and not Manning, he wouldn’t be anywhere close to rated as high as he is. He’s the #1 overall recruit in the country for the class of 2023, and I’m not sure he’s in the top 2 QBs in the Louisiana class of 2023. Alabama commit Eli Holstein (Zachary) and Purdue commit Rickie Weeks (Woodlawn-BR) are better players in my opinion.
I hope for the best for Manning, but the hype that he’s had has been completely unfair. But again, with that last name, the good comes with the bad.
Arch Manning will bring as much, if not more, mental talent and work ethic to Texas as he will physical talent. That’s what will make him successful, just like his uncles.
I like it.
Another manning that will never win a college championship.
