What recruiting damage is caused by Pruitt leaving?

According to many sources, Smart and Saban had an agreement in place - Smart was not to try and flip any recruits in that cycle, but future cycles were 100% up for grabs. The result - not a single Alabama commit flipped to GA during that recruiting cycle. I have no idea if Saban has a similar agreement in place with Pruitt, but he could if he wanted to. Saban did not have to release Pruitt to take the TN job until after the playoff.

I was under the impression that UGA's current QB, Jake Fromm, flipped from us when Smart took the UGA job. Anyway, do not underestimate the connection of a recruit to a coach.

He did, but he also was a 2017 recruit, not 2016.

Looks like LB's Davis and Walker will stick with us after Pruitt departure. Appears Walker was close to de-committing until Ansley visited.

LOL!! Walker was wavering before Pruitt decided to take the job at UT. I didn't considered him solid and thought he wouldn't be part of the 2018 class. to hear this latest news makes me chuckled again. FWIW, in the last month or so , many believe he is firm with Bama after flirting with Auburn and UGA .
