Did Arch have any teammates worth a flip. How many recieved D1 scholarship offers from his team? I didn't follow his high school team success or failure, anyone can help with these questions?

Yes, your QB is still pretty.
You now have what you came here for.

I think we have seen him perform enough to know what he can do. The issue for 2025 is how well the other 10 guys on offense play. Sooner fans know what happens to a 5-star QB with makeshift O-line and no experienced receivers.
Makeshift is not the word for Texas’ OL. There are new starters but it’s also a healthy unit. There are no players being thrust into starting roles before they are ready. These guys were handpicked by this staff and have developed under their coaching. Texas has not gone to the portal on the OL.
In what world do Ryan Wingo and DeAndre Moore not have experience? They both played extensively last season. They have both caught TDs from Arch Manning in actual games.

He had two small college-level receivers and a 3-star tight end who is on Texas' current roster. Really high level of weapons for his high school classification. He also had at least one SEC-caliber offensive lineman. The defense was pretty mediocre.

Hope he knows to check out of a dumbass pitchout call on 1st goal from the half yard line.
Pretty sure we all hope for that

Hard to say with confidence.
Haven’t seen enough out of Manning to determine if he’s half as good as hyped. If he is as good as advertised, then perhaps.
Same goes for current AU starter Jackson Arnold. Will he be improved with a significantly better OL and a dramatically better receiver corps than what he experienced at Oklahoma? Dunno.
According to OU fans, Arnold was hot garbage. In truth, I haven’t seen a transfer quarterback yet that wasn’t half-trashed by the fan base he left behind. So it is difficult to know just how good he may or may not be.
I do know this much, Arnold was highly touted when he signed. I’m reminded of Auburn legacy Bo Nix. Everybody in the SEC thought he sucked, until he went to Oregon and became a 1st Round draft pick. What changed at Oregon? … a significantly better OL, a much better receiver corps, and the same OC that he had at Auburn.
Something to consider …

Lagway has shown to get a little impatient if teams drop into heavy coverage on passing downs. I wish he was getting more reps to work on the shorter stuff but I am sure he is looking at a lot of film of the Tulane game etc.

Maybe it's just me but that doesn't sound like the QB I'd take over any other in the nation

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting Texas isn't loaded with athletes, just what happened to Oklahoma last year.
We were sky high on that team before the season started, then the bottom fell out as one WR after another went down and the O-line didn't gel the way we expected. Deion Burks getting injured was the last straw.
All I am suggesting is the horn offense is loaded with freshman and sophomores, not juniors and seniors and they'll be tested early.
If they get exposed by Ohio State it will take more than the second coming of Archie, Peyton and Eli to hold it together.

Not at all. He's got all of the tools. But he needs a solid consistent O-line, and he needs decent healthy receivers actually on the field. Give him that, and you get to see what he's really got.
He did not have that OU. If he had, it would have been a very very different season.

I feel like OU is always going to have a lot of injuries the way Venables runs practices. He is a meathead.

He had a silly number of high school games televised. He wasn't playing against top tier talent.

Yeah, Lagway presents a pretty compelling story. If he gets back to 100% he could give that Gator team a chance to gel under his leadership. And if they do, … look out for… they could be dangerous, especially at home (Texas, Tennessee, FSU)

Speaking of FSU, Gus Malzahn walked off during one spring practice because Norvell wasn’t giving him free rein of the offense. He didn’t come back until he was given full control.

That is just a true freshman sometimes wanting to do too much even when the defense is dropping most players into coverage. I would much rather have that which can easily be overcome than a QB who can't make the big throws down the field when they present themselves.

He could progress to be a great QB or become Quincy Carter
