'21 GA OT Amarius Mims (Georgia commit)

So for sh*ts and giggles, our o line next season looks like...
Johnson
Morris
Carvin
Cade
Wright

I feel like Morris gets beat off the edge constantly. Johnson is faster. If cade doesn’t get get a 1-2nd rd grade he would come back
I've seen it said that Wright is a better guard prospect as well. So the interiors could be Morris Calvin Wright and we are looking for two guards. Hopefully one comes in the transfer market
 
And Georgia jumped us in recruiting rankings.

Good heavens can we stop taking L’s to that trash program already. They have benefitted from us being down more than any other team in the country.

That’s funny. The reverse is actually true. UT benefitted the most from the 90s when we were down. It’s not absurd to see us keeping our elite talent in-state. Jamal Lewis almost certainly would’ve been a Dawg had we been elite in the 90s. That’s one example. Richt started shutting that pipeline off and as SC and Clemson became relevant that shut off SC where UT would cherry pick. LSU was crap back then too. Now all of these programs are at least competitive.

A lot of Georgia fans don't realize how much Mark Richt and his staff did for that program. He should have a ring if you guys end up winning one.

Also, I think Richt generally tried to do it the right way too. It isn't a coincidence that Kirby came in and recruiting skyrocketed to the stratosphere literally overnight.

What? I was young at the time, but I could’ve sworn UGA took someone else over Lewis and it fueled Lewis every time he played UGA. I want to say Jasper Sanks was the guy UGA took and he never panned out.

Edit. yep, after a quick google search.
“"I was 'Plan B' for them," said Lewis, remembering how Georgia had openly stated that tailback Jasper Sanks was its top priority during recruiting. "But I'm over that.’”
 
Average is good, but the points rank teams for a reason. Would you rather have 25 recruits with an 89.9 average or 22 recruits with a 90.1 average?

Fact is this class is already good for 10th last year...we just missed on Mims...still in on Malone, Green, TiD, Mondon, and this staff always finds a really good late guy or 2.

Top 8-12 classes let us compete all day. Then we need to develop, SCHEME, and have a dynamic QB.
Most teams are going to get to 25 or close to it. Average is more important. I would rather sign 20 to 22 with a high average than 25 with a lower average. Those extra recruits with a lower rating likely will never make a significant contribution. That’s just my opinion, everyone has one.
Top 8-12 classes may give us 7-9 wins every year but we will not contend for SEC Division or Conference championships. We need top 5 classes unless we recruit a Joe Burrow surprise.
