UGA considered the favorite right now


I am actually pretty shocked that UGA has so much momentum with a brand new coach with zero head coaching experience. You would think that a lot of kids would be a wait and see mentality with them minus the kids that dream of playing at home and some key defensive guys knowing what system Smart will run.

This seems fairly common in recruiting lately. New coaches are able to be sell being a part of something new, changing the culture, turning the program around, or whatever you want to call it and kids seem to really buy into it.

Smart is an outstanding recruiter and has great relationships with high school coaches in GA. I am not that surprised. I am very interested to see if he can get an offense going there. You know he will build a great defense but so did Muschamp at UF but if you can't score won't matter

Also I still believe AU will get their guys from GA. Main thing for us right now is showing an upward trend on the field. We do that then we will finish just fine this year

that probably has a lot to do with it. Looking at their current commits, they only have 3 OOS guys (I don't count beal at img since he started in GA). Richt for whatever reason let a bunch of big GA guys leave the state, kirby just seems able to sell the "stay home and play for the home state" mindset.

If they have another subpar season this year like last year I doubt they carry the same momentum they have now.

New coaches tend to always have positive momentum for some reason. Kirby is also well known, well respected and already has relationships with the kids in Georgia.
