That's an interesting question.

I know a lot of Bama fans think Kirby has been negatively targeting the Tide during the recruiting process. The media has asked CKS many times about his recruiting approach and his response has been consistent from the beginning. He believes UGA sells itself (ranked nationally as the 13 best public university, great facilities etc., etc.), therefore he doesn't have to negatively recruit. In post commit interviews from players over the last three years that narrative seems to ring true.

Regarding the selling points to Trey, I would suspect they're as follows:

1. Early PT - Kirby plays'em young. Therefore, if Trey comes to Georgia he will play.
2. PT part II - It's anticipated Holyfield will enter the draft after this season, increasing the opportunity for early PT.
3. Zamir White - He suffered a second ACL on his other leg before the start of the season. There's a lot of uncertainty about whether he can get back to HS form.
4. OL - Pittman is building a beast of an OL, with 5*'s backing 5*'s. There's a ton of talented depth to run behind, which is very important to 5* RBs.
5. Academics - Kirby will pitch academics to Trey. "Come to UGA and get a great education."

Finally, there's the Nolan Smith factor. Smith also plays for IMG and from what I've read he's relentless recruiting guys he wants to play for Georgia. He's in both Sanders and Neal's ear. If you look at the CB's they trend toward Bama, so we'll see how it goes.
Your 5 points are the mirror image of what we sell. Where do you think Kirby got it. We always play the best players regardless of their age or time in the program. Sanders really cannot go wrong with either program except that Bama is a proven National Championship Contender year in and year out with no signs of slowing down.

I know where Kirby got it - CNS. Georgia is a mirror of Bama, which is the ultimate compliment to Saban.

Sanders may very well choose UGA and really would have a fine career there. I would also say the Georgia will continue to trend upwards going forward. But Bama is solid. We are going to win with you or without you. If we whiff on Sanders there are a couple chomping on the bid to get on board with the Tide because we will turn them into successful people on and off the field. More importantly, however, their draft stock will skyrocket.

So...both schools offer essentially the same things. What's the differentiator? A "feeling"? In the final analysis, does that make Nolan Smith the pivot point around which Sander's and Neal's decision revolves ? Sanders and Neal both have been either Alabama commitments or considered strong Alabama leans. If either or both sign with UGA , I can't see how that could be interpreted as anything but a rather significant " upset" in the recruiting game. I know that Jam has a high confidence level on those two, and he's well connected. Hope he's right. Also, I get kind of eeyorish with this stuff anyway!! 😀

You are wasting your time defending Kirby Smart here. He negative recruits against Bama ALL THE TIME. His job and future at Georgia depends on one thing- beating Alabama and winning a national title. His tactics are pretty well documented on this end. And Bama offers everything you mentioned in your post. Except the Nolan Smith factor.

Your mirror has no national titles.
Ya got me!;-) Yes, we're absent the national titles. I was speaking in terms of how the program is being modeled (overall philosophy, processes etc.).

As a side note it will be very interesting to me to see how Mel Tucker models his program at Colorado. Tucker is also part of the Saban coaching tree. Will he follow the Saban methodology or strike out on his own. Time will tell.

Based on what? :conf3:The commit saying not that Negative Recruiting was or was not used?

I can't think of a single player that has ever "indicated" that he did or did not experience negative recruiting on the part of the program that he ultimately signed with... :rolleye2:

That's a pretty weak argument there, dawg. :cool:

I was hoping for a Trey Sanders update since I saw where he was being active on Twitter. Let's put the barking dawg in the basement and not talk about UGA transfers for the time being and discuss recruiting.

I am afraid we are not going to hear much here until Wednesday.

Rusty Mansell (Dawg writer, but a great source) is thinking Sanders- Dawg, Dean and Neal- Bama.

RTO, I saw that as well. I still believe Sanders rolls with Bama in the end. and if he doesn't then Texas might be his best option for immediate playing time. Florida mods stated they are out for Sanders which you would think would be the perfect place for him, his brother is there, it is his home state, and again immediate playing time . with the news of Holyfield returning to UGA, their backfield will be 4 deep. logic would dictate that UGA would be the last place for him. of course he's an 18 year old...
but if he is indeed confused on his final choice as many have claimed, perhaps he should wait till February to sign .
there is no absolutely no rush for what is basically the most important decision of his young life.

I've been known to pull some stuff out of me old rumpus to see what sticks. Apparently you're not buying it. :biggrin:
