Welcome GA!!! 
Love getting our numbers up here. What's your take on Mizzou and recruiting in the southeast? Being involved in coaching athletics, you may have some observations the rest of us don't get. Do you hear Mizzou being discussed at all? Just curious if your position would give you different insight into how effective the recruiting push has been in Georgia. Welcome again.

I do think I can offer a limited perspective on that. I definitely think Mizzou has become much more recognizable for kids here, they have joined in the discussion. It is difficult because there are so many schools trying to recruit here (surprisingly even several big ten schools) that is is highly competitive. But I think the efforts will start paying off soon. The billboards in Atlanta were a nice touch in my opinion.
I doubt we will ever sign any of the big time, top 15 level GA players but I do think we can consistently get several kids in this area. Schools like South Carolina do a great job of recruiting here and I think we can develop those types of relationships in the years to come. Not quite to their extent because of the distance but similar. There are so many D1 prospects here that many of the lower rated players turn out to be phenomenal college players because of the depth and competition.
