In the end, Arch Manning did it his way. The Manning Way.

No news conference.

No elaborate TikTok video.

No hokey hat reveal.

Just a simple six-word tweet, issued without warning or ceremony at 11:15 a.m. Thursday: “Committed to the University of Texas.”

And with that, the greatest manhunt in college football history ended. When it came time to break up with a suitor, Arch called each coach to deliver the bad news. He did it previously with Dabo Swinney, Billy Napier and Lane Kiffin, and I assume he did so Thursday with Kirby Smart and Nick Saban.

Again, the Manning Way.

What, he didn't thank God and say how blessed he was to go to Texas?

He'll never get anywhere with that attitude!

Absolutely. I always admired Archie for remaining here in NOLA after his career was over.

The pedigree is why for sure. But I believe he’s more likely to excel with less risk. No doubt the name gave him exposure. However I’d bet he lives up to the name. His athletic ability is rated higher then Peyton and Eli. I believe he’ll be a better pro than college player. He’ll continue to evolve over time. Apparently he’s in the film room as much as Peyton was.

"TOTALLY AGREE"
I I said it from day one the same argument you guys gave about Horton the competition was not at the highest level except he won two state championships none for Arch. And in the playoffs Arch's performance was not that great. I gave the same argument take away the Manning name and he would not have been put on a "Pedestal"!!!

But Manning struggled in a 49–7 playoff loss against powerhouse Lafayette Christian Academy, completing 7-of-16 passes for 44 yards with an interception. He did manage a rushing touchdown.

He plays a very low level of competition,” Farrell said. “He hasn’t progressed. He had a really good freshman season. I wouldn’t say regression, but he hasn’t progressed. And when he has had to step up against other competition—especially in the playoff game, where he looked awful—it just hasn’t translated.”

Eli and Peyton both had the same struggles in HS in the playoff round neither won a State Championship or for that matter a National Championship. Apparently the writer fails to realize that the better team usually wins those games (funny how both Peyton and Eli went on to win SuperBowls in the NFL though) . Arch still has his SR Year this coming fall perhaps he can overcome the lack of a HS title. LCA is loaded with talent. Newman had only Manning and Randall as D1 talent whereas LCA had many more. Peyton and Eli always had bad games against St Charles Catholic. I’d imagine after a red shirt year Arch behind a solid UT line will play like a 5 star recruit.

Time will tell, funny Saban backed off of Arch and went after another Quarterback, Saban loses very few battles!!!

Saban read the tea leaves. Bama was 3rd in the running behind Texas and Georgia.

Level of competition and failure to show up in the big games, playoffs etc. That should not surprise anyone, change his name an he may be lower, failure to progress was a negative also.

And if he came to Tulane, Kai Horton would be in the transfer portal in a heartbeat.

gbg, can we go a month without you tying every thread back to Kai Horton? Please, give it a rest until he takes the field in a game that means something and does something positive. HS means nothing now that the kid has been out for a couple of years. He looked pathetic against Cinci when he got a start. Looked like a walk-on that didn't play QB in HS. Until we see him in a meaningful game, that's what he is at this level. 3rd string for a reason. Please, try to control yourself because NOBODY wants to see Kai fail, but you are so freaking over the top about him that I, for one, wish he transferred just to get you to STFU about him. Here are Kai's career stats, and remember HS means NOTHING at this point in his career.

The writer fails to recognize “family stock”.
Look at the #1 pick in the recent MLB draft. His dad is a MLB star. This happens quite often in sports. Kobe Bryant’s dad Joe Bryant was a solid NBA player. The fact that the Manning family stock has produced 3 NFL QB’s has to be a factor. Of course if he was Arch Smith he wouldn’t have the recognition. It’s like saying if he wasn’t 6’5” he wouldn’t be a top pick either. The writer is actually using the Manning name to get clicks. If it were Arch Smith his story wouldn’t get very many clicks.

I am only holding you guys to your words, from the very beginning everything was negative about Kai, oh he only competed in 4A not at the highest level of Texas High Schools. It was during the peak of covid, so Kai was under radar going from basketball to only two years of high school football. No one recruited him, just like Pratt only got recruited by IVy league. Similar situation in that Pratt did not gain attention until he changed school. Well Kai switching sports was very similar to Pratt changing schools, but you guys didn't give Kai the benefit of the doubt. Even as both Rivals and 247 Sports listing Kai as one of the most underrated Quarterbacks in the South. 247 Sports had Kai as the 27th best Pro QB in the country but you guys ignored that. He had more recognition than Pratt but they both had reasons that made them under radar recruits. My reaction was to give this guy the equal chance you have given Pratt, was not that I was anti Pratt but I saw similar situations that both were under recruited but so many would not give Kai a break down playing him the whole way. I know his school had a strong record but to go from basketball to only two years of high school quarterbacking and winning two state championships, just be fair that is all I ever asked for!!!

You started this whole dumb shit back in Aug 2021 when you said Horton was ahead of Pratt. He wasn't even ahead of Ibieta. Then came the persistent high school stats, what division he played in and championships he won. With the underlining, bold italics and cut and pasting the same mantra over and over. If he is that good, he will be the starter, if not please let it go.

I am not going back but the minute Kai and his buddy Courtney Mason signed. you guys started, low level of competition, why did no one recruit Horton or Mason. But I lived through it Pratt was a savior before he signed on the dotted line, just because he changed schools, no championship nothing. Not one word was said about his only offers were from Ivy league schools. In my mind I said really give Horton the chance you guys gave Pratt with similar arguments why both were not highly recruited, one changed schools and one changed sports, so they both had legitimate excuses why they were over looked. But Kai, was not overlooked by the recruiting services, I did not see outside of Tulane giving Pratt such aknowledgement. I wish both of them along with Ibieta to be future NFL caliber quarterbacks. Now I do believe coaching was the reason all the quarterbacks got beat up last year. We didn't have a ligit quarterback coach and the offensive schemes and playcalling left the quarterbacks vulnerable. It did not give the line a chance. The best team does not always win, the better coached team will win most of the time. They are many ways to negate a pass rush and use it to beat teams. Thats why screens are so important to slow a pass rush, use of the tight end over the middle freezes linebackers taking them out of the rush. Swing passes to the backs keep the defensive line honest. To win we must negate the strengths of opposing teams through play calling. The 1998 team was so good because of play calling and wide open offense. It would pass when you expect run and then run Converse or King when you expect pass. We should have that capability this year if the new coaching staff is as good as expected. Roll Wave, I believe if I am right the offensive line failures will be gone because of coaching, confusion wins games.. Predictability wins only if you have much superior athletes, we don't so coaching plays a bigger role.

everyone in NOLA raves about Rummel, St Aug, Holy Cross, Landry etc....the classification they play in, is the same classification that Horton played in 4A....Texas highest is 6A ...Louisiana 5A... there is no National guideline for enrollment classifications, it is done on a state by state basis...Per MAXPREPS Newman has a 2A classification
