They just wanted a figure head for recruiting purposes.

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.
