Sad Truth About Recruiting



Yep, preaching to the choir from my perspective. The other reality slap is that out of those mostly top 10 UGA recruiting classes, the realized team on the field is significantly less than top 10 due to various forms of attrition. Maybe my view is biased due to being a UGA alumni/long time UGA fan, but it seems like we have a lot more attrition than most teams. I would love to see the before and after data that shows contribution on the field after recruiting; ours has to be among the worst in the nation in terms of high profile players who became busts.

We don't do any worse than most of our peers. A lot of players just don't work out. High profile players bust everywhere.

ETA: TBH, more than attrition a big problem is that there was a lot of dead weight recruited in the 2010 and 2013 classes. If a guy's not going to get it done, you're honestly better off if there is attrition in that case.
