Yeah and we got to play them both. The talent in the state of GA is well above most states and it’s so easy to keep GA players at home. As someone else said, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel for Kirby. Seven five stars in one day is RIDICULOUS. Last year’s haul was bad enough but this years is awful. I hope that this thing catching fire burns out quickly or we are in trouble. GA is having it’s choice of the most elite talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these guys become super close and they do a great job under kirby so far of the players recruiting for them with the in state kids. Our kids are more spread out so they do not have as close a bond as other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to stay home and build something for their home state school. Kirby is a Ga boy. He plays those angles perfectly. My hope is he takes this talent and does nothing with it. If Ga starts consistently competing and winning this “new and shiny” thing will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are def right. Them dudes that georgia already had committed were RELENTLESS on working on trey hill and others. I barely saw anyone recruiting for us.

Heck UGA recruiting isn't new. Lots of very highly rated (some over rated) guys the past couple of years in Ga. They were always top 5-7 every year. Remember the "Dream Team" year. Turned out to be a bunch of thugs. Granted they are the "hot" team at the moment. It will pass. The greater concern has been FSU, bama, and Clemson's ability to get higher rated Ga kids the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-HANDLEY-TIGER 205 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It was a perfect storm for Georgia, two of their biggest rivals having new coaching staffs (Florida and Tennessee) and Gus on the hot seat rumors lead to a bunch of recruits looking at staying home.

That's just it, Kirby is recruiting even better than Richt. Sure, Richt would have an occasional stacked class like the 2011 Dream Team class, but he wasn't putting back to back top 5 classes like Kirby is doing now. Richt recruited well but he would end up losing more of the top in state talent. Kirby is doing a better job of keeping the top in state talent and not losing them to other programs. https://dawnofthedawg.com/2017/01/27/kirby-smart-wall-around-peach-state/ Quote Mark Richt had fair share of success on the recruiting trail, and in his defense, a lot of the elite players Richt had during his tenure came from outside the state. Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno, A.J. Green, Aaron Murray, and Todd Gurley, just to name a few. But there were too many times during Richt’s tenure when players like Eric Berry, Deshaun Watson, and Raekwon McMillan left the state and became All-Americans and future first round picks. This is UGA's Scout recruiting rankings since 2010: Richt's classes 2010 - #11 2011 (Dream Team) - #7 2012 - #9 2013 -#12 2014 - #8 2015 - #6 ------------------------- Kirby's classes 2016 - #6 2017 - #3 2018 - #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware. And the georgia kids as a unit recruited him. ferociously. That is why he was with them all earlier at the hospital when one of their signees had surgery. He really vibed and connected with the in state georgia kids. Really wish muschamp could of won this one. They def feel even worse than us about tindall. He literally is in their back yard.

He took all of the joy and excitement out of what was really a good season for us. This recruiting class is a harbinger of things to come because you just know they are going to be so damn good the coming years. It is scary. I am not looking forward to going to our other house of horrors besides red stick which is athens. have not won there in 12 years. You are right. that sec title game we are going to look back as a big turning point in kirbys ascension in the college football world. We could of put a stop to it or at least a dent in it and delayed it. We had our chances that game. The score was a lot closer. Florida is not kicking their tale anytime soon. Georgia has a cakewalk in the east for at least the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think we will be just fine and I'm sure the UGA fans look at our recruiting every year and is like, how... they aren't the state school... they don't have as many fans, blah blah blah... but yet we keep raking in top 10 classes.

aubieclawz 30 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 myself I could careless what Georgia is doing and worry more about what auburn is doing and that is recruiting our needs and I honestly think the job is being done quite nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Keep in mind that we all laughed at bama beating their chests over the 2007 recruiting national championship. They've only missed 4 SEC championship games since. 3 of them were only because we beat them and went instead, twice they made it to the BCSCG/playoffs anyway, and once (so far) they still won it all. The way our rivals recruit matters, especially when them getting a kid they really wanted so often means we didn't get a kid we really wanted.
