Surprises on Signing Day - Good and Bad
- Thread starter BamaMoon
- Start date
He's recruiting on someone else's reputation......he gets to do that for maybe one or two years.
Kirby is going to do well in recruiting. He is good at it and he has the Bama/Saban formula. We are going to lose out some to him in the coming years.
We can't get 'em all...but we can get ours - the ones who want to be here. Those are the ones I want anyway.
Well, yeah. He has to do his current job to the bet of his abilities. We owe Kirby many thanks for being an integral part of 4 national titles. But we shouldn't begrudge him for working hard at his next job.
The good surprise for me is the strong DB class so far. The bad...not so much except the wait for the class to reveal itself over the course of the day instead of having a number one class wrapped and signed by noon.
Kirby is doing no less than we would have expected him to do at Bama. We know he can recruit, and we know he can coach them up on defense. The questions to be answered are, can he run a program himself and will he win? If he doesn't win, he could become a top 10-15 program in recruiting. Like the barn.
I think he will keep UGA competitive. The challenge is the East will be on the upswing the next few years with the reemergence of Tenn and Florida. With them letting go CMR for just being "competitive" I'm not sure if that will be just enough. he's going to have to win a NC within the next 5 years.
Noticing in some quarters that LSU is already being crowned the recruiting champion for this year. Would certainly not be a surprise if they end up in that spot, but I think announcing it now may be a bit premature. What do yall think?
For those interested we have moved up to #2 on 247 with Ohio State in front of us and we are in position to blow by them (LSWho has fallen to #5). We are also up to #5 on ESPN and not sure we can get to #1 but top 2 is very possible.
I guess I bought into the hype and expected a lot of surprise announcements today of four and five star athletes. Seems the staff is waiting on six or seven LOI's. Are there any players committed who haven't send the LOI in yet?
