Odd? No. Kirby doing what Kirby does best.

Kirby takes a national approach because he can. Generally speaking, obviously the other 49 states are more talent rich than one state. Some years the state of Georgia cycles up and we may miss on some of those guys because their coach says bad stuff about us because they’re offended we didn’t take a guy from their school previously. That’s a big part of the Gwinnett county especially Grayson issue from what I’ve heard. Years ago we took an out of state kid that we valued higher at the same position as a Grayson kid so their whole staff got butthurt and steers them away.
Unfortunately the days are mostly gone of a kid loving the Dawgs growing up and staying home just because of that and such. Georgia is also a very transient state, particularly the greater Atlanta area. Loyalties lie all over the place. I mean we could sign a kid from Buford, Tucker, GAC, and Waycross and statistically, I’d make more money wagering that the kid from Waycross is more likely to have lived in Georgia most of his life. Just the way it is now.

It's not that they aren't getting offers from Kirby.
The only one that really stung was losing out on Verron Haynes kid. Some recruiting staffer hit on Justice's step mom so he switched to Bama.

Yep, I have the same concern.
Two of the nine 5 star players in Bama's 2023 recruiting class were from our state: Safety, Caleb Downs and RB, Justice Haynes.

Next year gonna be a big in state year supposedly.
Also while I think all of our QBs and important players should come from South Ga (as we are just built different) it's hard to argue with Kirby's plan.
Nakobe, Jalen, Jordan Davis, Brock, Darnell, etc etc are not from this great state, yet they still helped us win back to back Natty's
Incredible. We have won two national championships in the past two years. Never forget

Bingo. Was there a better peach state TE than Bowers in that class?

2024 Recruiting Thread coming soon if y’all still want me to do it. Any objections?
I will continue to try to get the news posted as quickly as possible.
EDIT: Just a quick observation, UGA has won a national championship every year I have done the recruiting thread. Just sayin.

So it appears that we lost Duce Robinson to USC, last week. That's a bit of a bummer.

I haven't followed his recruitment specifically but a brief review of his 247 profile indicates he was a USC lock from the beginning.

I was hoping our usage of Bowers and Washington would be an enticement.

The Dodgers are going to draft him so he went to USC. He wants to play baseball first.
