What in the 17 are they doing over there? I pulled up the 2019 recruiting class and they have 3 commits out of the top 10 players on the 247 Composite. No other top 10 players have even committed yet.

They signed seven 5* guys for this class.



Is this all because of the championship run, the coach, or what?

Who knows, maybe they took a cue from Freeze and company and started employing escort services for recruits.***

It's easy to see

that they finally have a coach capable of taking advantage of all their benefits.

Georgia is a talent gold mine. Smart is determined to win battles to keep the best talent home while also sneaking into surrounding states to take a kid here or there. He can offer playing time this year and probably will try to get into the 19 class with the playing time angle. I expect some interesting battles with Saban in 19.

The State of Georgia has more 4 and 5 Star players in 2019 than the states of MS, AL and La combined...

..heard a story

That when Kirby was on his way out headed to Athens he took a picture of Bamas recruiting board. With that he started showing bama’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices, who were still 4 and 5 Star guys, how they were actually viewed in the eyes of lord Saban

Hey, goat, you mean the recruiting board he participated in creating and completing?

Also about the same population as those three states combined ... maybe even larger. Metro Atlanta has almost the same population as Mississippi and Alabama combined.

But only one major in-state public university.... UGA... compared to MSU, LSU, Ole Miss, BAMA and Auburn for MS, AL and LA....

Not too far off. Georgia has 10.3 million while al,la and Ms combined is a little over 12.5.

One of the reasons UGA's relative football mediocrity over the past three decades is so puzzling--especially when coupled with the fact that Florida is their primary pipeline.

Georgia Tech is pretty "major". Not so much in athletics, but certainly in academics. Kennesaw State is larger than we and OM are, but once again, they barely have athletics.

But the real point was how many good athletes the high schools produce, and it's probalby pretty proportional to the relative populations.

He noticed that didn't work so well so he'll have to try something novel. Looks like he doesn't need anything additional at the moment though.

Heard this as well. UGA fans are fapping up a storm. Between UGA and Clemmy fans they may want to send the Subway Jared investigative team to the area.

In all of bama’s recruiting championships, saban never topped .94 avg rating per player. Georgia did this season. Ohio state did also... this is actually urban’s 2nd year in a row to top .94.
