IMO, it's a combination of things:

1. Re: Wanya, UGA is likely taking a max of 3 OL this cycle. One interior player and 2 tackle types. I've gotten the sense that Pittman is very high on some national guys and we like our chances there.

2. Re: Harris, its long been known/reported that we didn't let him commit when he wanted to. I don't know the reasoning there, but do know that we brought an epic haul of guys at his position last year, have limited spots for that type this year, and already have Nolan Smith in the fold. Sounds like it was just a tough decision.

3. Re: Watson Jr., we never recruited him with any real intent. He seems like a fine prospect, but his associations likely have led to him being slightly overrated by the ranking services.

4. KWSR comments are interesting and I do believe that he honestly cares about that group of kids. I also think he wants to get his own bread buttered. The two aren't exclusive. I can see Harris' friends being frustrated when we didn't take his commitment, but it's hard to imagine that would be the decisions making incident for OP. I honestly think we just got out recruited there.

I agree that UGA got outrecruited but I don’t think you can dismiss the Harris situation. Especially if it’s true Kirby called KW to see how he could repair the issue. That is an important comment within the article. It sounds like Nolan wasn’t happy with the situation either so that’s something to pay attention to.

I think other factors such as his relationship with Auburn’s LB coach, depth charts and him just wanting to blaze his own path. I hope he does well at Auburn 11 games a season.
