That is the one school I will never hate losing a player to, because if they can make it there, academically, I would not want to deny them that opportunity.

I think you are both correct. We don't lose elite talent that are contributors to the team. But when a kid leaves if you have a ton of studs nobody cares. Eventually over time your roster is loaded with such talent that an injury or dismissal just means that someone just as good steps in. Thank you! You offered an explanation better that I could put in words. Someone said we need to build depth, and its hard to build experienced depth when attrition hits your roster.

He's an awful recruiter for kids who are focused on the NFL and a path to get there and families who are focused on the money that football can bring. THAT IS WAY BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE SAID IT!!!!!!!!! That's it in a nutshell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world is not ending but we have to step up our game to play UGA and Bama and then UGA again if we are going to be successful. We can't just keep doing what we are doing because that crap in Athens isn't going to stop anytime soon. I will try to spend the rest of my day being happy about our class and ignore the earthquake tremor happening 20 miles down the road. I tend to look at things as if i was a 5* recruit. I would certainly have Auburn on my list. Kids want the chance to 1. play early as they can 2. Win 3. Have a great chance to go to the NFL. Auburn does check off those things but IMO we're in the 2nd tier of schools for a 5* recruit. Bama, Ohio St., Clemson, Oklahoma, Mich, Texas, formerly FSU and now UGA are constantly at the top for consideration with 5*. We come into play with the 5* guys is that we do offer them a chance to play early; especially on defense with how we rotate guys on the DL. I don't expect for us to go undefeated every year but i do expect to see a team that is prepared each week and not looking completely lost. I believe in the talent we're getting. The other stuff....well not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Williams if you will. Kids leaving like Kyle Davis hurt us as well. What would have happened this year if Ryan Davis and Slayton were injured? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might recall the backlash his first year recruiting at Ohio State. You might also recall that he never had near that level of success when he was recruiting in the SEC. If Harbaugh could put a solid year together on the field, I think Meyer would finally have some real recruiting competition. Agree. Just pointing out the difference in regards to HC personalities and both being successful. He maximized the talent he got at FL. I understand that with both coaches they have very questionable practices. At the same time, you have to show what you can do with that talent. Yes, the Big 10 is largely garbage but they're in the hunt year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And knowing that the next man up has been exposed to the system/scheme and has some live in-game PT under his belt. In other words, having experienced/developed backup's.
