Comments about ‘Utah football: A quarterback named Manning commits to the Utes’

Welcome to Utah.

It's great to get such an early commit form a quality QB! Welcome to Utah Manning!

Welcome to the family!

I wish they would expand a little on this kid. What was he rated? Who else did he have offers from?, etc.

I do like the way Utah is stock pilling QB's. After last season, it's easy to see that you can never have too many. It looks like you pretty much need to have one in each recruiting class.

For my fellow Utes:

Per Rivals, Manning is a 3* QB. He had an offer from Montana State. His college list included: Colorado, Oregon State, Wisconsin, Hawaii and USC

Welcome Conner! This is good news. Good luck with your senior season. Can't wait to see you in red.

Welcome to Utah Mr. Manning.

Doesn't matter to me what rank or who offered, welcome to the University of Utah, you're a Ute and you are going to love it.

It will be interesting to see if he's rating goes up this season. With big interest from WIS and USC the Utes may have picked up a diamond in the rough just in the knick of time.

Any relation to Archie, Peyton or Eli?

An outstanding recruit. Welcome to Utah and the PAC 12!

Glad to have you as a Ute. You've picked a great school and some great coaches. They do a great job of developing talent and this is a great place to get an education and live. We'll see you next year.

Utah IS the diamond in the rough.
Welcome to the University of Utah Mr. Manning and the PAC 12 !
It's good to be a Ute !

#65 ranked QB; had an offer from Montana State. And that is the best an upper-eschelon team from one of the top 4 conferences in the whole country can do?

Sorry, I had to play the "Utah fan" card - you know, the posts that are made everytime BYU signs a player.

Seriously though, good luck to this kid.

Dude, I know it annoys you like it does me when annoying fans from both sides post stupid comments. They have nothing better to do. Don't entertain them! It just upsets you even more and makes them want to be more of a nuisance. I'll apologize for them, sorry.

Obviously, he is a smart kid to choose Utah.

Welcome!

Welcome to Utah Connor!
Get a great education and learn football from the best, it don't get much better than that.

Wonder why Oregon, USC, and Stanford didn't want him?

I guess at #65 they felt they could pass on him and that's how recruiting will be in the mighty PAC 'Conference of Champions'. The big schools get first dibs.

Might be a good pickup for the Utes, time will tell. It was definitely a harsh recruiting blow to Montana State to be beaten by the Utes on this one.

A great day for the UteNation Welcome Wagon.

"... learn football from the best..." LOL

I think BJ will have an offense that will be a lot of fun for this kid in the future...
