When he recruits someone very close to you for three years, tells them they have a full ride to UGA for three years, then 2 days before recruit can officially sign with UGA, Stricklin calls said recruit on a Sunday morning and tells the same recruit that he’s been having a man crush on since the kid was a sophomore, hey we found someone else we like better, you can be a walk on. This kid was highly recruited by several other SEC schools. By the time Stricklin told him that they were not going to stand by what they promised, all the other teams that were interested had already filled their rosters. Anyway, my personal interactions with the guy are not good. I graduated from Georgia and pull for the players, but the day Stricklin is gone, I will be celebrating

Sounds like college recruiting. Sucks to have it happen to someone you know but that exact scenario literally happens at every school in every sport. It doesnt make it right but it’s the nature of the beast; you can’t take everyone and you can’t make every person you recruit happy. At the end of the day, coaches have to make the best decision for the program even if it means screwing someone over. Kirby Smart and Nick Saban are prime examples in football.
