Instead of in the recruiting thread... (move it if you like DGD). From GTP...

Anthony Dasher has an informative piece up about how Georgia’s approach to recruiting has changed over the past couple of years.
quote:

Although the exact totals are not quite clear, as recently as two years ago Georgia would average less than 100 offers per year. Currently, the Bulldogs have over 150 offers out for 2016 and 57 on the table for members of the 2017 class.

According to Bulldog recruiting coordinator Bryan McClendon, the sudden increase in offers not by accident.

“I think it’s just where recruiting has gotten. You have to jump out there and really be a year ahead in the evaluation process than the way things used to be,” McClendon said. “Once you pass guys on their evaluations there’s no reason to hold back, to be honest with you. But in doing that, you have to be a lot more sure on a guy and you’ve got to be more sure on a guy in what you think he can be down the road as far as growth potential and things like that.”

There’s more. Give it a read.

As long as "keeping up with the Sabans" doesn't involve taking rejects from other SEC schools arrested for theft and domestic violence then blaming the media/administration/everyone other than the coach that let the trash in school I'm cool with it.

I like my diploma not being equivalent to charmin. No number of national titles would change that.

Don't see how the football program conducts itself affects your diploma's value.

It doesn't, not in any way shape or form.

But some people continue to think that winning national titles (by whatever means it takes) would somehow cause their employer to hand them a pink slip the following monday if we gave a kid some cash or something.

True, it wouldn't impact my professional life. I was more referencing the idea of bringing in violent guys who have beaten women up before.

While my boss doesn't care about the character issues of any SEC team I don't think it's unreasonable to want to avoid Saban's judgement on the Jonathan Taylor's of the world for our own dignity. Not because it would somehow impact our career trajectories. You're correct that it doesn't/wouldn't.
