The simple truth is UGA didn't buy players and Tennessee did.



UGA hasn't had a recruiting class ranked outside the Top 3 nationally since 2017 after Saban's #1 pupil arrived. That's statistically impossible unless you're buying players. You can lie to yourself if you want but everyone knows what's happening.

Nope. Smart is a top flight recruiter and hires top flight recruiters up and down his staff.

UGA also has a recruiting budget double the next closest SEC team.

If it were just buying players, more coaches would be able to do it. The fact that only three have been able to (Smart, Saban and Day at OSU) shows that it's not about buying players. The teams caught doing that are in fact worse at recruiting than those three coaches.

If it were just about paying players, there would be more guys recruiting at the level of Smart, Saban and Day.
