I totally agree with Coach Richt. We have to remember when it comes down to it these are kids trying to play football and get an education. Its not fair to them for any coach to sign them and then say we dont need you at this time. Any coach who does that does not have the kids interests in mind.
I remember it was last season I think where Richt had offered a kid out of Columbus, GA. The kid was ready to commit...like middle of the season or before season started. When he tried, Richt pulled the offer for another kid he was interested in. You want to talk about one pissed off kid and coach. They were all on the news saying Richt was never welcomed at that school to recruit again.
But I guess he didn't need him.

Completely inaccurate. He wanted to commit as a QB and he was told they were not taking a QB in that class. He was offered as a WR but wanted to come in as a QB. His offer was never pulled. Things got patched up pretty quickly considering we signed 2 kids from that school this year.

FAAAAAALLLLLLSSSSSSEEEEEEEE. Please be informed before you spread an over year old rumor.
We told Burns we weren't going to take a QB because (at the time) we weren't. Things fell through with some other recruits, so we ended up re-offering him and bring him up to apologize and offer in person. He still chose to go elsewhere and instead of a project athlete we ended up getting a QB who set state of GA records. I'd say we ended up ok there.
