If you're worried about what LSU, A&M, and MSU are doing, just look at their coaches. None of those guys can coach their way out of a wet paper bag! Plus, there is plenty of shadiness concerning their recruiting. AU has a good coach and great recruiter in Pearl. They are going to have some success in the coming years, and then it will all come crashing down.

I'm not worried about them, but if they can get players then Georgia can too. I hate to say it, but basketball recruiting is shady as hell. I'm glad it's not my job to navigate it, but Fox and his staff are paid to. Basketball is talent driven, and they need players.

I'm not trying to crap on the football program and understand it's an apple to oranges comparison, but they do have misses as well. The point was it is easier to cover those up in the eyes of the fans when you have ~25 new guys coming in each year, whereas basketball has 2-5 new guys coming in each year.

It's also easier to mask because each football miss is marginally less important to the success of a team, just because there are fewer players.

I'm rooting for them. I played a ton of basketball and watch a ton of it. I'd love for Georgia to be a consistent contender, which is why I'm critical.
