Georgia had 31 seniors" was a way of saying that Smart had a ton of veterans partly trained by CMR. There's a small grain of truth to it, but the number of recruited scholarship seniors (not walk-ons given a scholarship) was half that, so the effect was greatly overstated. That's not a coincidence, and I've since seen the figure repeated as fact on many other message boards.

I think Kirby was behind this 31 senior thing. Give him ammo in recruiting and trying to keep the next team from being overranked in preseason.
