re: A very honest and good article on Richt

The author makes some valid and damning points about Richt's record vs SEC opponents with winning records but I disagree with much of his underachievement mantra.

First, top 10 classes (he said our classes average 8th over the last 10 years) doesn't cut it when your toughest competition is getting top 5 classes. And yes, those extra 4 and 5 star players do make a difference; just ask Alabama and Auburn.

Second, what is largely overlooked in analyzing recruiting is the realized product on the field. This season is a good example of Georgia once again losing highly recruited key players due to discipline issues or whatever.

Third, because Richt has tended to under recruit to avoid over-signing, he has not allowed for normal attrition, leaving our team without a full roster and insufficient depth at too many positions. And yes, I recognize that we might actually have a full roster at the beginning of this coming season; high time.

Fourth, and we have discussed this, lump all of the above with an admin that pinches a penny till it screams and what you are left with is a HC and admin shooting themselves in the foot and not doing a good job of filtering bad apples that don't fit well in our barrel of high standards.
