Alabama could reportedly be slipping down top prospect Arch Manning's list. According to On3 Sports, the race for the 6-foot-4, 215-pound QB is down to three teams: Alabama, Georgia and Texas, with the Crimson Tide not on top...

quote:
When talking to different sources close to this recruitment, I have started to hear more about Georgia and Texas. Alabama is still Alabama — and Nick Saban, Bill O’Brien and Pete Golding have all been involved. But there has been a little more chatter around the Bulldogs and Longhorns in recent weeks.

One source told me, the Mannings view Kirby Smart as a personable head coach. Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken and offensive quality control staffer Buster Faulkner have built a good relationship with Manning through the process. The city of Athens is viewed as a fantastic college town by Manning as well.

If he picks Texas, he’ll continue the family tradition of not winning a national championship.

PeleofAnalytics•44 months

Yeah but they have 4 Super Bowl Rings...

biglego•44 months

It’s not like winning a NC would prevent him from winning a super bowl

RTRcdub•44 months

We’re talking about college football here. I realize some people actually care about the NFL, but still...

DoubleDown•44 months

I'm so over listening about what this kid is going to choose to do for college. Pick something and shut the frick up already.

RATeamWannabe•44 months

Athens is an awesome college town

Oh, no. Anyway...

How many UF QB’s are in the NFL right now?

JackieTreehorn•44 months

The manning family hates Alabama almost as much as they hate lsu.

Partha•44 months

Explains why they've produced so many successful nfl qbs...avoiding the bama qb curse.

Cracker•44 months

Who cares

Hawgnsincebirth55•44 months

He won’t go to bama too much competition in the qb room. He’ll go somewhere that makes it clear to him he’s the star and that they’ll do anything for him and his family. Saban ain’t going for that and he’s going to continue to recruit elite qb’s year in and year out and won’t guarantee him a spot or guarantee he won’t get yanked.

Texas is where the BIG NIL $ is at! I say if it's between Texas & Georgia I'll go with Texas.

AP83•44 months

Yeah bc he really needs the nil money

Next week, new article: Alabama the new front runner according to sources.

First, i think he’s way overrated. Second, theres NO WAY IN HELL the Manning family is going to be setting roots in Austin. That is a cesspool of liberal trash- like going to San Fran. He goes somewhere in Southeast.

Nix to Twillie•44 months

You just described a large contingent of every large college town in America. The Mannings aren’t making this decision based on politics.

DVinBR•44 months

Highest bidder wins

ByteMe•44 months

He doesn’t need money. I think he goes to Texas.

how333•44 months

I don't think Saban wants to deal with the family.

Nix to Twillie•44 months

Maybe they don’t want to deal with Saban. He’s a great coach, but let’s be honest—he’s kind of a duck that at this point might occasionally yell at a tree.

Nix to Twillie•44 months

Autocorrect strikes again. While he loves ducks, the word I was looking for is “dick,” as in slang for “penis.”

newsflash: something could be happening or not we don't really know we just want clicks. thanks for your support.

Good

SouthernInsanity•44 months

If his name wasn't manning, then this wouldn't be.... "Five-Star Plus+"

ByteMe•44 months

Have you watched him play? If you have and still think that…you are part of a certain LSU fan base that has a problem with the Mannings. Get over it.

jpcajun•44 months

But, But... i thought last week, LSU has made the strongest push and was in a good position? I sure hope this kid makes it and lives up to the hype!

Twenty 49•44 months

AL "could reportedly be slipping." That's strong language. It might just be one of the strongest statements I've read here in some time.

SouthernInsanity•44 months

Being a Five-Star Plus+ is stronger LOL

Manning to Georgia... what a odd pair. Kirby Smart is quickly becoming know as Les Miles, part 2. He starts the worst QB on his staff, loses the most talented to the Transfer Portal... preferring to run the ball and pass only when necessary. Qb's are starting to see the writing on the wall as many 5-stars have left the program to become bona fide stars at other programs. WR's are starting to follow because, when they do trust the least talented QB to throw (3rd and long), they would rather use their TE's. The WR exodus has begun. He won the Natty last season, in spite of his QB but probably lost, at least, one other because of his refusal to play the best QB. Justin Fields, is an example, of one who went on to transfer and play in the CFB Playoffs, while Georgia stayed home and allowed the less-talented Fromm to QB the team... Les Miles II.

He is coming to LSU, ain't he? All this is smoke and mirrors. Brian Kelly knows what's up.

Koolazzkat•44 months

Definitely smoke and mirrors, he’s chasing the heisman in Southern California.
