From what I read, he never pushed Bryant, but he also made it clear why and how much he loved Auburn.

I thought Kirby Smart had locked Georgia down..?

Sssshhhh! Don't you know that Georgia and LSU are going to be on dynasties equaling Bama and we're going to be lucky to win 6 games for the next 10 years?

His high school coach helped us get this win.

When you sign eleven 4-stars and one 5-star in the state of Georgia to our one 4-star from the state, it doesn't get much more locked down than that.

Getting Markaviest's commitment is really awesome. Now I'm feeling better about this class.

I heard on the radio this will be their best in-state class since something like 2002.

They weren't interested in him. Never made him an offer.

I guess Kirby left the side door open, because Harbaugh came in and took the best player and the one everyone wanted right out from under Doughboy's nose.  Of course, they didn't want him either.

Again:  Eleven 4-stars and one 5-star in the state of Georgia.

According to the 24/7 Composite ratings for GA, they signed 11 of the top 15, 14 of the top 22.  And yes, some of those top 22, they got better players from other states.

Anyway you slice it, he absolutely dominated his own state.  The only truly big miss was Solomon.  And they definitely wanted Big Cat. 

But there is zero way you can make any jokes or critiques of Bowl Cut's in-state recruiting this year that make any sense.

But but but...he looks like a goober.

He does look like a goober. That's a true statement.

Was anyone else slightly concerned with the person on the bleachers getting pulled by the hair off screen?  For a minute I thought someone was getting mugged.

UGA did very well in GA but other schools pulled some elite players from GA like we did with Mr Bryant.  Clemson pulled the #1 QB in the country from GA. 

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Signing Markaviest was a big and wonderful surprise.

[PoetTiger 1,896]

A lot of those kids have Georgia pride...loyalty to the state. Combine that with Kirby and u got a recipe for some good recruiting. Georgia produces a large number of quality athletes and its no way he can get them all, so some will slip away or just be more interested in other schools.
