He's getting more talent than Saban is and that will continue with Saban's age being a deterrent UGA in position to dominate next decade and Smart is young enough to get close to Saban status by the time he's done


Not really true. Talent isn’t the issue at Bama, they certainly had plenty. Saban not focused, accepting less than perfection, making excuses for loses…he’s gotten soft.

It was Muschamp that got Saban to hire Smart when he was at LSU
You can thank Muschamp

Spot on. And Kirby is running a duplicate that is young, hungry and running at full speed. The gap isn’t much but the age does make a difference.

They are taking 5 stars and high 4 stars that UGA is passing on.

And UGA is identifying 3 stars and low 4 stars that the rating services are missing on.

I agree... Bama is killing it with the recruiting services.
I disagree that Bama is dominating recruiting like UGA is. The finer details appear to weigh in to UGAs favor.

(UGA missed on Will Anderson Jr. UGA most definitely misses on evals as well. But the total sum of 25 draft picks in 2 years supports that Kirby's long hours are paying off)

Unfortunately I agree. Incoming talent is not the divider. Its the development and mostly the mentality that UGA is winning in. Ever since Bama’s offense went fully wide open under Tua the defense and run game have lacked the urgency to win every down. There used to be a time when running the ball and stopping the run vs Bama simply did not happen. That is now UGA with Bama looking more like Ohio St….talented but soft.
