Not Likely, But...

Agree with you often but it is ALWAYS a factor if a recruit can help pull great players with him. If Hurd and a few others weren't such absolute homers as recruits then Jones wouldn't have pulled together those two great classes. I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if Nico's willingness to commit early and then peer recruit wasn't a factor in making him the priority target.

Milton had all of the tools to be successful. Two different staffs at major programs fell for his potential. We’re just lucky we quickly moved on from him. How many times before last year did we have JG as our only option?

Milton doesn’t have the mental makeup to be successful or hasn’t to this point. He just rushes mentally, idk that the game has ever slowed down for him at this level. Nico maybe a total bust but he just seems very comfortable in any situation. Seems to be super comfortable in his own skin.

He isn't coming so this entire conversation is pointless as stated previously, but.....
"Just because he has Manning behind his name......"
Well, yes. Emphatically.
The Manning name is SEC royalty, and brings much more than on field success. Furthermore, one of those Manning's is probably the most beloved Vol ever. On top of......which Manning was a bust?
3 Manning's = 3 All-SEC's, 3 All-America's, 3 NFL starters, 2 (probably) Hall of Famers, 4 Super Bowl rings, 3 Super Bowl MVP trophies, 5 regular season MVP trophies, multiple NFL passing records, and now also NFL royalty. The list is endless.
Ummm, whatever that is, I'll take more of it if given the chance.

Yes, he is the same class as Nico.
But early enrollment hasn't become standard, has it? I mean, it is definitely common. Perhaps as common as not. But Arch could certainly wait until December (or even a bit later) to commit, sign by February, and come to campus in May or June. You know, the old-fashioned way. Heh.

He'd be great actually he just didn't have much interest. Nico did, and they are very comparable. Six in the one hand, half a dozen in the other. We did good, but Arch is good too, and has wheels more like Archie did than either of his QB kids (Peyton and Eli).

Yeah, I think he's significantly better, actually.
Right now.
With that said...this is a Manning.
And he's athletic...and has pedigree in his blood and just around him all the time.
Nico has Heupel.
I think in 4 years, we're still going to be debating as each one vies for #1 or #2 overall pick in the NFL draft.

Why would you even want arch at this point? We got a top 5 overall prospect in nico. And consider this…he’s garnered all the attention he has with no famous family connection. It’s highly possible that he ends up better than arch. And he’s out there working hard to bring other great prospects to Tennessee. Not that it’s a requirement but arch being slow on the trail means whatever team he ends up at won’t have had him helping the class for long. We are a loyal fan base. And if an elite qb is going to go all in with us we need to go all in with him. And for the most part I think that’s what we’re doing.
