re: UGA loses its two best players on offense

But finding very low ranked 2 star and 3 star gems like Stetson and Mchonkey that turn into your best players and leaders is the part I'm talking about that's hard to do on loaded rosters.

It seems that you're making a very poor and very tired argument. Kirby & Co. have been as good as it gets at developing talent and preparing players for the NFL, and they recruit to build a specific culture at UGA. I would argue that it's easier on a loaded roster as well - you're competing with the very best at practice, instead of a bunch of 2 stars.

The thing that held UGA back in 18-20 was coaching - green mistakes from a young head coach, as well as stubborn reliance on an outdated offensive philosophy. The thing that may get them (as it did Saban off & on) will also be coaching - see James Coley, 2019.

There is a fresh crop of talented players every year. Conversely, the pool of talented, well connected coaches is teeny tiny and leads to the bidding wars we've seen over the last 20 years. Call me when Glen Schumann leaves, until then we're in as good of shape as anyone in CFB.
