Maybe this can put to bed that Georgia people are saying Smith was not a take only because he decided on South Carolina.
Here is a link to our recruiting board. MikeBoss was a little concerned because he had heard Smith was wavering and might go with us.
Here are our responses to him:

This all started because of Georgia fans saying that daniel wanted to commit but was told to hold off when that wasn't true. Mikeboss had also just come back from a 3 day stay at a brothel so he can't be held accountable for what he posted.

Daniel was asked to hold off, whether you like it or not. Doesn’t mean we didn’t want him. Recruiting is fluid and the staff wasn’t ready to take his commitment RIGHT NOW. He was a priority, just not the top priority.

No. Let's stay on topic here. The people that have been responding to you in *this thread* have been talking about Cam Smith, to which you seem to take offense to what is being said. Take up the Daniel conversation in the other thread.
Ignoring the Daniel situation, what are your thoughts on the idea presented that Cam Smith is not a true "head to head" win for South Carolina on the recruiting front and that he simply was not as high of a priority for UGA?
Is that sour grapes or simply stating things as they are in your esteemed opinion? That will tell us everything we need to know about this particular situation.
Congrats on the 2 DBs, I think they're both talented... but let's make sure we are accurate in how we discuss things of this nature.

FWIW, you likely have no more proof of this statement than the Carolina kids do that Cam was a priority. It *may* be true... it *may* not. Everyone on the interwebz has sauces.

If people are getting offended by this statement though, they simply aren't paying attention. At best, DJ was the bottom DB on the board of our "top remaining targets" at the position. He is definitely behind Cine and Stevenson. Probably behind Elam, though not sure where we stand with him. Not sure where he stacked up relative to Jalen Perry personally, so probably would put him around that category for us. Desired, but not the "highest priority". If people think that's sour grapes, then get fricked, because that's not even really an opinion just simple logistics of position and relative strengths of players available and targeted at the position..
As I've said every time. Congrats to Carolina on landing two quality DBs. No one with a couple of brain cells to rub together should have doubted Boom's ability to bring in defensive talent. He *will* upgrade that roster from where SOS left it. Curious to see how the offensive side of the ball progresses there, as that will likely define his success or lack thereof overall.

FWIW, you likely are correct. Just putting 2 and 2 together from info gathered from several respected folks on several different boards. You likely have the same sauces that I do.
The rest of the post is fact!

Unsurprisingly, the words smarter, more rational, and more realistic than you were difficult for you to stomach typing out, so I'll do it for you.
If you take objection with any point I've made, please make your specific point of issue known. Happy to admit where I've made a mistake if you can demonstrably prove it.

There are two types of recruits:
1. UGA commits
2. Players UGA is no longer interested in

That's not true, UGA loses recruiting battles all the time. Just not to Scar

False narrative. Please quote the full text of one post where I've stated that.
You're better than this. You and Scrooster should be. There are definitely some people out there who believe shite like this, but the vast majority of us haven't said anything to this effect.
Again... read my statement specifically about Cam Smith and tell me where I'm wrong. If you can't... why is it so hard to admit that it's accurate for Carolina fans?

FloydDawg said that and y'all got all rustled up.

I don't think it was true, but nobody can say for sure one way or the other. How can you possibly say it isn't true? We can't say it is true, either.

What MikeBoss said or didn't say is not the point. What I am trying to point out, if you look at the link, is all the Georgia people saying we haven't heard anything about Smith in a month or more, and we felt like he was going to South Carolina. but you don't seem capable of clicking on the link and reading that. Why? because it doesn't fit with your narrative?
Dude. Those comments were made a day or two before his commitment. It's there for you to see!

Not at all. We wanted Pappoe, Sandidge, Jamyest Williams and several others that we did not get. We probably would like to have Smith, but he just wasn't that high on our board. That seems to have South Carolina fans upset for some reason. There are lots of players we are interested in that SC is not and a lot of players SC is interested in that we are not. It isn't a slap to either program for this to be true.

Dude. Yes, we do. We probably have lost more battles with SC than Auburn lately.

Should we preemptively move this conversation to a new thread for Jammie Robinson? I'm excited to hear how they beat us out for him despite Kirby doing a Harbaugh-esque sleepover at his house and him being the clear top priority on our board (source: some media outlet in Columbia)

From what I've heard, we were late on Daniel. He was a take. Cam Smith however, was not.

I don't believe Jammie Robinson is a take for UGA at this point mainly because they know he wants to get out of state ... either Bama or SC.
So, no.

With the miss on Daniel he might be. I mean, we still feel good about Cine, Stevenson and are turning it up on Kaiir Elam, but if we start to feel like we are out of it for any of those, then I wouldn't be surprised if Jammie Robinson moved up the board. Probably not at this moment, but it could happen. The coaches really seemed to like him.
I had not heard he wanted to go out of state. I also know the coaches were a little concerned about his transfer, and the circumstances that surrounded it.
(I don't know what happened there. Heard the coaches were checking on it, though.)
ETA
Out of curiosity, are you guys going after Jammie Robinson, too, after getting Daniel and Smith on board? I know Auburn wants him.
