He was 1.00, all time No.1 recruite , not just his class. Except OBC Spurrier, nobody publicly questioned his ability.

If you click on the scroll down arrow next to his name, you will see that everyone offered him. You are a very dumb person.

All of the major programs wanted this kid. They were all wrong. I thought each recruit was subjected to an intense evaluation process before an offer was made. Arch is tall and he can run but he has a 2 star arm and he’s scared shitless. Surely Saban, Kirby, and all the other big time coaches that wanted him were able to see that his arm was as strong as a 14 year old girl’s? I find it hard to believe that he was the number 1 recruit for that high school class because he’s related to Eli and Peyton Manning.

You underestimate how important making money is to these programs. Even the head coaches are subjected to the cash flow machine. Arch Manning is and always was a goldmine for cash. That’s why the major programs wanted him. Nothing to do with the QB.

In high school he didn’t really face a pass rush. More like a pass shuffle.

Every 5 star gets “offers”. He was only truly pursued by some

That’s how it works

Fun fact: I looked into this and they use a loophole where “frozen” is determined to be 0°F or lower, not 32°F. Some weird crap man

Pretty sure Smart, Saban and Kiffin said no thanks to Arch Manning.

You are tantalizingly close to having a eureka moment but failing to see the forest for the trees, across the board. It's hilarious.

What a stupid comment. He was only outside by some because they were the only ones that that they had a chance to get him.

Incorrect on this one. Kirby wanted him bad. Had a QB coach at his house signing day morning.

No I didn’t. Arch Manning could’ve played at any college he wanted to. He was a massive recruit. And they all got it wrong.

Whatever the teams that wanted but didn't get Arch did managed to drive up the price to the whorns for what, $6.3 million?

Maybe it was a tactic to drain the saxet NIL bag 'o money so there wouldn't be enough left to recruit the other 10 guys he needs out there when the ball is snapped.
