Who have you cherry picked within the last 3-4 years that has been "top talent"...


In 2012, Bama signed 4 of the top 13 kids out of Georgia (more than any other school). UGA signed 3 of the top 13. AU signed 2 of the top 13.

In 2011, UGA signed 5 of the top 10, Bama signed 1 (had another commited, but he went to JUCO).

In 2010, both Bama and UGA signed one of the top 10 from Georgia (way to lock down your state UGA).

Three year total: Bama has signed 6 of the top 33 prospects in Georgia the past three years. UGA has signed 9 of the top 33. That's not bad considering it isn't our state.

This is back to my point about UGA being a "good" job that could be a "great job". UGA lets too many good players leave the state. To have only signed 27% of the top players the past three years is telling.

Cherry picking top talent means you come in and take the ones you want...I never said you don't get players from the state. During that time period we've signed the top players from NC, SC, FL, and TN. If we have players out of state that are higher on our board, we're going to take those kids.
