Kirby Smart's wising up about the art of recruiting

I mean its true.

Give me a 2 or 3 star like Justin Jefferson that wants to be at his school over kids like the 5 star LSU was recruiting from Maryland that basically said winning playoff games didn't help his individual future.

I think dealing with George Pickens this year has worn him out, along with the recruitment of Zach Evans.

I agree with Kirby, it's just too much trouble chasing someone who ultimately you can't rely on. There are plenty of high character kids who are also great talents; that's not to say you can't recruit a few knuckleheads but you can't have more than you can handle because they poison the locker room.

LMAO landed the #1 ranked class in the country, but still insecure enough to let one recruit get to him.

great quote

It's a mystery why Georgia with all the recruiting success over all these years can't bag a natty.

I respect this program,I just don't understand why they can't close the deal.

Is it a toughness difference between west and east?

I don't get it.

chasing the guys that don’t believe in the same principles and values of your university and of your program, they’re just not worth it,” Smart said. “Take the guys that want to be there, play with the guys that want to be there. No. 1, you’ll enjoy your job day to day, your staff will enjoy it more and so will your other players.”

He is just realizing this? I need to sign up to be a coach I guess.

He worked for Nick Saban for, like 30 years, and he's just now figuring this out???

Yeah okay sure. If that was actually his philosophy he wouldn't be pulling in the classes that he has. I give it to him hes a good salesman. That something people say just because it sounds nice. Theres not a coach in the top 25 on 247 that takes that philosophy. Get the best of the best or lose.

I wonder does Kurbee feel the same way about Coaches that see UGA as a weigh station to get to a bigger paycheck down the road

Everyone wants to focus on the Players, yet no one want to focus on the exact behavior coming from Asst Coaches and Coordinators

IMO this is a passive aggressive attempt to scapegoat the Players while at the same time refusing to admit that he chose the wrong QB and that is a much bigger issue than any selfish attitudes from Players

With the amount of money flowing thru CFB, everyone that is associated with CFB and steps on the field in any capacity is selfish

The NCAA and especially CFB has been in "maximizing money mode" for 30 straight years so don't stay silent when Coaches & Admins cash in and then get your panties in a wad when the Players want to cash in also

Choosing the right QB could have minimized minor issues like "selfishness" IMO

Kirby Smart's wising up about the art of recruiting

Kirby knows the number one weapon in recruiting and he has been doing it like a pro since he’s been at Georgia. It’s all about the $$$$!!!!!! I’m not knocking him , because everyone does it. However the only “wising up” that he may have figured out is he didn’t have enough left in the Jawja budget to outbid South Carolina for Burch.
