re: Georgia ranked by ESPN as easiest place to recruit top talent

Honestly I'm surprised the ranked SC so far back and both Ole Miss and Miss St ahead. Small population state surrounded by Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee seems like recruiting hell if it wasn't for the Jr Colleges in MS.

Are SC's facilities that far lagging behind? Tanner needs to call Darla Moore & Bob McNair to make some big donations.

I'm also a little surprised South Carolina is so far back, but Ole Miss isn't that far off. Although they're a small state, Mississippi produces a lot of athletes, and being surrounded by Alabama and Louisiana means they can recruit those states (just as South Carolina does Georgia). Recruiting is good in the Deep South everywhere.

I've always thought Georgia might be the easiest place, even when everyone was saying it was Florida. Although many will disagree, I might would put Texas ahead of Georgia, though. Texas and Tennessee are both a little too low, imo, while Auburn and A&M are a little too high (A&M may have reached that height in recent years, though).
