All he said was that he wanted more than one year of recruiting to say that Smart is a great recruiter. Isn't that reasonable? Don't we all want to give Smart more than one year before saying he can't coach? One year is too short a time frame to crown anyone a great recruiter, or a failure as a coach. That is a reasonable statement.
I think Smart will prove to be a good coach AND a good recruiter, but yes...let's give it more than a year before we start reciting either as fact.
I can definitely understand all of this. Kirby was a good recruiter at Bama, and did a great job last year. That being said, a coach's 1st full year is the easiest one to recruit because you sell your recruits on starting something new.
In the 2018 class you'll see it with LSU, Kansas, Texas, and Baylor.

Honestly, I think when the pieces start falling they will fall fast and quickly. It would not surprise me if Adam Anderson recommits, and in my mind he is huge.
We are ok, but I think with things moving slowly this year compared to last it has everybody on edge.

Absolutely. I was one of Kirby's biggest critics last season, however, I said then and will say it now that I think he will be ok.

The point remains that you can't claim in one post not to do something that you did like three posts earlier.
The point remains that I didn't invoke Richt's name and record in this thread. Another poster did that by citing past successful recruiting as a reason we'll continue to recruit well in the future. I just corrected that logical fallacy by pointing out that Smart wasn't responsible for those years, it was Richt.
The meaning of "invoke" is not the same as "type" or "say", and my statement is completely accurate. In this context, you can substitute the words "bring about" or "cause" for "invoke" (see Merriam Webster for help). Referencing Richt's record is what caused Richt's name to enter the discussion. Words are difficult, I know.

Breezy just made a point that we're not the type of program that is going to finish outside the top 20 like you claim and then you took it upon yourself to defend Richt's honor like you like to do. UGA is the flagship university in one of the best 3 football states, it would take a lot to finish out of the top 20. There's a reason why your like to dislike ratio is like .00001, just keep your ignorance out of the recruiting thread so it won't get hijacked more than it already does.

In some actual recruiting news, there's a positive article on Rivals about where things are with Marquez Ezzard, getting him in the fold would go a long way to getting Cox back.

If you guys are ever feeling down about this class you can always look to our 2019 class and see our 2 5*s

I'll be happy to acknowledge that Smart's a consistently good recruiter, when he has done it consistently over a period of time.
Kirby was Alabama's best recruiter for almost a decade and he pulled in a Top 3 class in his first full year at Georgia.
What more do you want?

Some clowns wont be satisfied with anything less then a SEC championship or playoff appearance. You, as an Alabama fan should know as well, we all have those clown fans. Just gotta ignore them and move on.
Lew, can we clean this up now and move on to recruiting only now?

There is zero way to prove this and you're more than likely wrong as shown in his first two recruiting classes with UGA.

The 2018 thread is a shite show.
We all knew coming in the 2018 class was weak and that this might be a down year in recruiting. This was being talked about last year. That being said, the season hasn't started yet and people are losing their mind. Georgia will be fine either way. I've seen many top 10 classes turn into flaming piles of turd so I'll withhold judgement on Kirby and on the class as a whole. We have some potential studs on our short list that may end up here or they may not....either way, our actual team has tons of talent and should win enough for recruits to take notice.

We are being negative recruited on the fact we call the cops on our own players in dorm rooms for smoking weed which NOBODY ELSE DOES.
If Evander Holyfield's son can't smoke a lil weed, you sure as hell can't.
Listen son, the kid didn't go out driving around and making a ruckus, he was playing video game in his room minding his own business, and got busted.
Is that really the choice you want to make for the next 4 or 5 years of your life? The BEST 4 or 5 years? Living in a Nun Commune?
COme on out to XYZ university where we take care of you, we put plenty of players in the NFL, we have plenty of great academic programs, and we help you succeed, instead of trying to bust you for stupid shite all the time.

Georgia isn't going to change its pot rules. This isn't a coach thing it's an administrative thing but we've landed Top classes with those same restrictions so if a kid doesn't want to come here because teams like Alabama and LSU don't do anything for blazing then so be it. Our administration flat out refuses to change the pot policy. It is what it is.

We have done it once and can do it again.

The fact the BS arrests continue at a rate above our SEC peers prove this is not a Kirbs thing, but it is a deep seeded issue with our University that continues to be a negative for us. The fact that Kirbs appears to have not overcome it just really goes to show it ain't going away.
