Good question. What is different is that they are pulling talent from all over. There is so much talent in Georgia that they are a lock to be Top 15 in recruiting basically every year, if they get who they want out of the State they are guaranteed Top 10 in recruiting, but at present they are pulling people from all over the country as well, like we did in our hey day.Wonder why them tho. There's tons of other top programs I'd rather play for.
I know, I just want to know what the appeal is to pick UGA vs let's say Bama, LSU, or Clemson.Good question. What is different is that they are pulling talent from all over.

You said stable of WR’s, which UGA didn’t have. 1 healthy RB also doesn’t constitute a stable. Relying on a true freshman QB is never ideal, especially in the SEC. Again, the fact you blindly base it off recruiting rankings for UGA then say you can’t for UT is telling. If you want an unbiased view you should get rid of the double standards.
I'm with you, especially for out of state kids. I mean, if they were signing 17-18 of the top players from Georgia I get that playing for the home school thing, but they are signing 8-9 from Georgia and just plucking Top 150 players from all sorts of states, that I don't get.I know, I just want to know what the appeal is to pick UGA vs let's say Bama, LSU, or Clemson.
First, it was clear Chubb wasn’t the same player the year after his injury. He was better the following year and back to from his rookie year. Next, just because a player was a 4* recruit doesn’t mean they’ll be a success. Players fail to live up to their rankings all the time. Lastly, I’ve said from the beginning that Pruitt stepped into a worse situation. The only thing we apparently don’t agree on is that I said Smart didn’t walk into a perfect situation either. While it was certainly better than Pruitt’s, having a frosh QB, no line depth, Chubb with a blown out knee, and program culture concerns don’t make for a perfect situation.Kirby inherited 6 players at either WR or RB who were rated as a 4 star or better. I'd call that a stable. And Chubb was healthy enough to play in 13 games and he played well. So that's an extremely weak argument. Players play through injuries all the time.
I didn't blindly base anything off recruiting rankings. But certainly, recruiting rankings over the previous 2 years before their coaching changes vastly favor UGA. There is no denying that.
AV is who he says he is.
Having said that.....it’s a message board. Believe him or don’t. It’s not going to change anything. If your feelies got hurt because someone on a message board got you excited and they we’re wrong, then that’s more of a you problem.
