Yep and he sure solidified our position with his coaching hires. We are still going to have an amazing class on what many would consider a down recruiting year in T-Town. Kirby is having a banner year at our expense because of what you articulate but I believe we will more than make it up in the next cycle.As I said earlier, he's been down the backs of our coaching staff about recruiting effort all season long. In addition to some having decided they were short-termers, you don't always get max effort out of career NFL coaches...
Down to 6 with the loss of Walker. If we get Ross we jump right back up.We are up to #4 on 247 with only 19 spots filled. We should blow by Texas and we should end up at #3. Little to no chance we get past UGA and OSU.

That makes 26. Did they not have 25 last year allowing them to back fill? If so, we need to take Ross and stop. Let us have 28 next year unless we REALLY like one of the other kids....Georgia just got another , Tommy bush....geez
Seems like they had four to give out today....don't think they can take anymore... I wouldn't think?That makes 26. Did they not have 25 last year allowing them to back fill? If so, we need to take Ross and stop. Let us have 28 next year unless we REALLY like one of the other kids....
Man you have been real hard on recruiting lately....One of those guys in particular really hasn't come through at all since coming here.
Kirby has a lot growing to do as a coach. We will see how well he does in year three with success on the field this season and suddenly a lockeroom management issue with playing time expectations a lot of kids are expecting in Athens.Georgia just got another , Tommy bush....geez
Posted in another thread that Kirby has implemented step 1 in the process. Gotta recruit like CNS. Now, the pressure to do something with a class like this will prove if he can manage the roaster, develop them and win with them. High expectations out of Athens to meet in the next couple of years. They'll expect this class to translate into a SEC Championship at a minimum.Kirby has a lot growing to do as a coach.

For many the desire to win championships is only one factor among many. I know that we all understand this, but can sometimes forget that there are many, many schools other than our favorites that will check the other boxes, and some will be a better fit for the kid than Alabama or OSU.But, if a kid wants to win a Championship, and Bama wants you -- I just don't get it....why go anywhere else?

Thing is that they have us to deal with and we are certainly not going away...in fact, trending up with the new coaching staff.Posted in another thread that Kirby has implemented step 1 in the process.

Talking heads and armchair fans have been saying this about Saban for years. It doesn't hold water. Kirby will follow the Saban's blueprint and tell the guys they will have to comeGeorgia will have roster management issues soon. This will hurt their chance of convincing recruits for playing time this time next year.
I agree Bama might as well get used to competing with UGA they are going to be there year in and year out just like Bama. Facts are facts whether we like them or not. Kirby is building Georgia just like Saban did at Bama as you stated.Talking heads and armchair fans have been saying this about Saban for years. It doesn't hold water. Kirby will follow the Saban's blueprint and tell the guys they will have to come
in and compete, and he will still get top recruits. We all know that Georgia has been a powder keg ready to blow for a long, long time. They have the 2nd best state in the southeast for recruits (Florida #1 obviously), and they have no in-state competition. I believe Kirby will recruit just as well or better next year unfortunately. Just my opinion.
This is the best defensive back class we've ever had. If youre looking for a positive from me. Daboll being gone should help recruiting since he,successors will actually, you know, recruit. Very talented class overrall just some very disappointing misses in this class especially coming off such a high profile title game win.Man you have been real hard on recruiting lately....
Meyer had the best Recruiting class of all time and ended up being his downfall. Kirby is making a lot of promises and hope he can keep them. IMO he is just like Sumlin and his QB's will be his downfall. Do any of you think he didn't promise Fields playing time? What happens with Fromm ? What about the players that just went to the championship with Fromm? This isn't the same as Tua and a truly limited Hurts. Also, Georgia is rising in a all time low SEC east which just picked up two coaches that will recruit better than the last two. FSU , Clemson will hurt GA recruiting. Bama just upgraded Recruiting coaches and the instate talent is there.Talking heads and armchair fans have been saying this about Saban for years. It doesn't hold water.
