It appears from the article that his father has an equally serious attitude problem. We do not need that kind of noise.Agreed, but if he did not provide that context (that it was 3 years old), then he was still lying to recruits.
That said, this kid looks like one that I am happy not to have on campus. He has some serious attitude problems.
CPB was also known to say that to recruits...and for the top tier coaches, that is true.He said the same thing to Julio Jones when we might've needed Julio more than he needed Bama. Alpha personality types respect that. There is a reason why Julio Jones is likely a HoFer.
Just out of curiosity, how would Kirby get his hands on a Bama RB recruiting list? After all, this had to be a recent list. Is somebody inside the Bama program feeding him inside Tide info? I doubt it!Just read this on DawgNation: https://www.dawgnation.com/football...motivated-by-episodes-with-alabama-ohio-state
So, Kirby is still passing around "lists" from Alabama. Somehow he has a list that has Trey Sanders, the best RB in that class, as 3rd tier. The list is clearly bogus, which means that Kirby is now actively lying to recruits to gain an advantage.
GA may soon match TN and UM in my disgust.

FWIW, not every HS player is going to like how Bama recruits. Remember these are 18 year old kids with hyper sports Dad's... Mom's too. Justin Fields Dad made sure to put his $.02 about how UGA used his son. It happens.
Ols covered where it came from, but you are missing the point on purpose. Kirby is doing "negative recruiting" and he is purposely lying to recruits to get them on campus. I'm not saying that it will backfire on him because people do crappy things all the time and get away with it, but Kirby is not an ethical guy.Just out of curiosity, how would Kirby get his hands on a Bama RB recruiting list?

See things any way you want to through your red and black glasses, but Kirby has done some very questionable things in recruiting since he left Bama.Just out of curiosity, how would Kirby get his hands on a Bama RB recruiting list?

When we had Tressell lie to the NCAA, I felt like garbage. Then we hired Meyer and I felt like garbage. I allowed myself to believe that Meyer had changed - but guys like that don't change. You have a guy like that leading your football program at Georgia. Eventually, he is going to make you feel dirty.

Perhaps I have my head in the sand and Kirby is the only coach in America recruiting negatively against other programs. But let's say for arguments sake you're correct, wouldn't these players and parents find out CKS was lying and expose him? Don't you think Paul Finebaum and the rest of the sports media would jump at the chance to tell that juicy story? I can see the headlines now, "Breaking: Kirby Smart has embedded Mole in Tuscaloosa". This kid is saying he didn't like the way Bama was recruiting him (it was more than just the list BTW) and somehow that is Kirby's fault? Do you honestly believe a recruiting hierarchy list was the reason Mac didn't commit to Bama? Why would you or any Bama fan care... especially after the Tide landed Trey Sanders?
If I was an Ohio St. fan I'd be more concerned about what's happening in Columbus Ohio than Athens Georgia!
Several players have said that they were lied to by Kirby. Your former QB, Fields, now plays for OSU because of the lies. Yes, his transfer papers speak to racism, but he made it clear long before that Kirby lied to him. And several players have talked about the "Alabama lists". But I get the desire to bury your head. I don't hold it against you. Like I said, I have done the same thing. But the evidence is there if you are every interested in looking for it.B1gTide -

Interesting perspective coming from a Georgia fan who gives every indication of being at least as interested in the goings-on in Tuscaloosa as he is those in Athens.B1gTide -

from your lips to GOD's ear......................UF beats UGA this year. Wait and see.
Will be a good game but the Bulldogs have way more talent. Competitive 3.5 quarters.UF beats UGA this year. Wait and see.
Yep. UF/UGA is the East equivalent of Bama/LSWho and UF will keep it close but not win. As you say, too much talent on that UGA roster.Will be a good game but the Bulldogs have way more talent. Competitive 3.5 quarters.
Not with their offensive line!UF beats UGA this year. Wait and see.
Maybe not Florida, but UGA will lose to somebody. Much like L8U last year, it will be someone they have no business losing to.UF beats UGA this year. Wait and see.
