Good point. Only loser coaches would've bothered to recruit this kid.
I mean, what the hell have Nick Saban and Kirby Smart ever won in this sport?
They just wanted a figure head for recruiting purposes. Likely never intended to allow him near the starting lineup.
Due to the history of OM and the Manning’s it would have been a political bloodbath to have a manning on the team riding the bench. It’s something our coaching staff evaluated and weren’t willing to deal with.

UGA was actually only looking to recruit a QB if they were what UGA viewed as "elite". Otherwise they were skipping a QB last class (which they ended up doing as they missed on their elite targets).
Manning, Iamaaleava, Dante Moore, Malachi Nelson, Christopher Vizzina, Eli Holstein, Dylan Lonegran. That was their entire list of offers and they didn't pursue any other than Manning all that hard (in part because they didn't have interest, in part because some were borderline in terms of being worth a scholarship based on UGA's lack of need).
UGA really wanted Manning. So did Bama. It wasn't because of his last name, he has talent.
