I'm not sure ole' uncredentialed Cabral Opyio of Sportsskeeda and a psych major from the Univeristy of Nairobi is the best source.
It's pure speculation and reads like a long post from a UTx fan on here.
UTx won comfortably, but their backup didn't really play well. Ewers' return was still undetermined. Sark absolutely wanted him to get as many live game snaps as possible as their clear #2 to Ewers.
Manning may absolutely transfer, but he didn't really camp and is 3rd on the depth chart as a true fresh at UTx. He is just as much a gamble for any other team. And, going to a competitive program is just as much a roll of the dice for him. Bama seems a bad choice. Milroe is improving and has 1-2 more years. Simpson is good and still raw and developing with two years in the system. Sayin is inbound as a top QB recruit who actually placed his skills on the line against other top recruits and faired well. Plus, his level of HS competition was quite a but stronger than Mannings.
Don't get me wrong. Arch may be the best among Mannings when it's all said and done, but there is little to place that on one other than name alone.

A young QB either has it or he doesn't and you can always see it when it's there regardless of opponent.
You guys have given me shite about Milton and i brought that on myself but never did i actually believe Milton was anything close to Hooker.
I just expected Heupel to have had him turned the corner after seeing his performance against Clemson and seeing how Heupel turned Hooker around. Well Milton is now playing like i wanted him to at the beginning of the season but Milton has never had that magic it factor. He does have an elite arm and a lot of god gifted talent though. I'm sure plenty of NFL teams will believe they can turn him into something special as well.

For the record we are also giving you shite for relying on a reporter from Kenya on a website based in India for your source and you brought that on yourself

Disagree. If your focus is measurables, maybe. Intangibles and growth oriented learning, certainly not.
18-21 is one of the most significant periods of mental, physical, and emotional development for our society for various reasons. So, timing, opportunity, effort, and luck weigh heavily on a young person's development in pursuit of athletic achievement.
Walk-ons earn scholarships and start, 5*s falter and fail, some college near career backups make it to the NFL and do well.

Is JH being paid to keep his word to true freshman recruits? Or win games?
If Nico was better than Milton, he would be playing.

All makes really good sense. I thought it was a stupid "article" to link and attempt to justify any real "talk' starting on his potential transfer.

Look at Stetson Bennett for example.
A walk-on recruited by no one but he has that clutch factor in him that recruit ranking sites either can't or fails to measure.
Has the natural presence under center. Yeah some guys develop this later but with most young QB prospects you can see it almost immediately.
Some guys just play better when the lights are bright and the moment is big. Most people don't have it. The ability to become better in the biggest situations is rare.

Yeah, he's great at clutching a drink...
But on a serious note: really surprised how his NFL experience has gone. Hopefully he can turn it around and make a contribution.

Not that it means anything, but the thought of a Manning in an Oregon, Ohio State, or USC jersey is odd.

Yeah, Peyton was 3rd string at the beginning of the '94 season behind Colquitt & Helton. PM didn't start until later in the season due to injuries (loved Todd Helton, was one of the greatest hitters ever out of the SEC).

Bennett is actually the perfect example to disprove your point. He was at UGA as a walk-on. Didn't play a snap as a freshman. Transferred to JUCO when Fields committed. He was headed to be a Ragin Cajun until Fields transferred. He was offered a scholarship and returned to UGA as a backup.
Had he had the "it" factor as a true freshman, he likely would have been offered a scholly to keep him from transferring. If he had the "it" factor in JUCO as a starter, he would have been offered better jobs than a directional school in LA. His familiarity with UGA system, potential for growth, and timing, luck and opportunity gave him a shot to return to UGA and wait for his shot. He was arguably much more developed by the time he took over at UGA. But it likely wasn't something that was evident when he first stepped on campus.

I don't care what these recruiting analysts say, this was a prime example of someone getting hyped up by the last name on the back of his jersey. If his named had been Smith instead of Manning, he would have been a mid-level four star recruit.
Correct. I saw him play a couple of times in HS and watched his other highlights a lot. He definitely has the feel of a low-to-mid 4* guy. Has some arm talent, but wasn't some elite type player.
I'd still take him at LSU because a low-to-mid 4* still has a chance of being a very solid player, but he isn't his uncle Peyton or something.

I was in Bryant Denny when they played Ole Miss in Eli's second year. Miller went out of the game in the 4th quarter. As I recall Bama was up big. Eli came in and threw a 70 yard bomb down field. Everyone in the stands was like, "Jesus why isn't that guy starting?"
