The State of GA

The real reason why UGA has had a big advantage in the SEC is only in a small part because of Smart. Compare this with any state before talking about the coach at any SEC school:
1. Numerous HS recruits within the state.
2. Large population of the State
3. Competitive athletic High Schools within large metropolitan schools. Not always the case in bigger schools in some states.
4. Many Large HS within the state.
5. Majority of University enrollment are in-state students. Easy to have good athletes to stay in state with other enrollment.
6. Large number of HS coaches within the state of the most recruits support the home University.
Florida and Texas are the only states who are on par with the state of GA, but there are many other schools within those states. UGA has GA Tech, but they don't seem to care about Football. Smart is a factor and has enough NIL money to draw good athletes, but location of the great HS to UGA is the biggest factor. See how it was for UGA in the past.
Money by some SEC school supporters need to push GT in the future. It doesn't help their school, but it helps to reduce UGA.

As soon as GA flipped blue they got good at football. I wonder what the poli board thinks about this.

So UGA just wins its own championships, the staff is just along for the ride?

Majority of our recruits are not from GA.

Thinking might be asking a bit much...

Funny, LSU fans make the same claim.

What is the demographics of GA and what are the comparisons to other big states.

I'd imagine Soros is funneling money into the UGA NIL.

Oh boy, this is some kind of melt.

It helps, but UGA recruits nationally.
RB1 - Kenny M - From Florida
WR1 - AD Mitchell from Tenn
TE#1 - Bowers - California
TE#2 - Darnell W - Nevada
Same idea for defense. Some starters from GA, but good amount is from outside GA.
If you look at a place like metro Atlanta, its truly a melting pot. We have so many families from from Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina that retains their college fanhood

The core is from GA , which allows them to go after other recruits harder. Not the same for FL or TX.

And yet Auburn exists in the same state as the most powerful dynasty the world has ever seen, so maybe geography isn’t the problem.

Sorry, but these are the facts for awhile and discussed. LA had great athletes in a smaller number, but the Saban came in and stole many from LSU. NIL is now even making it hard for LSU. UGA has a much bigger selection due to the state of GA.

Georgia has the third most black people of any state, trailing only Florida and New York. I get where you're going.

Now show us the starters each year. Especially the blue collar positions.

So the last two coaches who won a championship at lsu have gone on to have magnificent careers post lsu. Right?
