Apparently the talent was there if they were rated 5* to begin with.
Then throw the ratings out the window and Georgia really isn’t the #1 recruiting class this year.

Which is a recipe for 4th-5th place in the SEC and falling behind in the talent gap.




I'm sure we'll hear about Florida closing the gap during the offseason. I don't see them beating us with Mullen as coach.

It’s not that Mullen can’t recruit. It’s that he won’t recruit. He is too arrogant to beg a kid to play for him. He thinks it should be the other way around.

I'm really not worried about it. After the high school kids get smacked in the face and realize Mullen wasn't lying to them, we will get plenty through the transfer portal. It is the equalizer as compared to slimy recruiting. And I am not ragging on anyone in particular. If I had a coach who was doing whatever he could to bring talent to my team I would be all in for it as well. Urban was a master of this.

Mullen will recruit about like Spurrier


Spurrier signed some elite classes in his days. Is Mullen about to start doing that?

And busts happen every year. Shorter has 15 rec for 137 and no TD's in 2 years. Lingard blew out a knee and didn't even have an attempt last year. Which of those appear to be living up to their ranking?

Maybe, but none of UGA's current class have failed to live up to the hype yet. If any do, like DeAngelo Gibbs or Trenton Thompson from other classes, then I'd agree they were overrated.

Florida just signed the #8 recruiting class and picked up a 5* RB in the transfer portal.



#8 in the country gets you 6th in the SEC.

That gets you a top 10 national team (hello Mark Richt)

I seem to remember a certain coach saying that and a certain thread in 2019 getting a lot of posts on the secrant.

You wouldnt remember who the coach was that parroted the same quote, would you?

Cant read the whole sentence or won't read the who sentence?

Sure he will if he can win like Spurrier. I would think his first few classes were along the same talent level as Spurrier's. Mullen is going to have to win first because he isn't going to recruit like others who magically sign top classes before they win.

Well many State fans were, and a few still are butthurt. It really isn't limited to recruiting comments. Many are not though. Those are the ones I like.

Stop following recruiting. It is a miracle we ever finish in the top 10. Not our gig


What? Spuurier,Urban and even Zook routinely pulled top 5/3 classes and that was with FSU and Miami having NC caliber teams many of those years.

You guys are the freakin alpha dog in the state and still can't crack the top 5

Spurrier may have beaten FSU in recruiting once or twice during Bowden's tenure. And that was after he won big.
You know what he always loved? That Georgia was always signing the great classes and he was still kicking their asses.

Here is a quote from him.

On Georgia recruiting: "Why is it that during recruiting season they sign all the great players, but when it comes time to play the game, we have all the great players? I don't understand that. What happens to them?"

The only coaches at Florida who have out recruited Mullen are Meyer and Zook. Spurrier had a couple of great classes after he won a natty. Florida had more discipline problems under Meyer and Zook than any other staff.

At least Spurrier signed a #1 class.
He also had very good classes before his natty when recruiting wasn't as hyped as it is now.
