What’s wild about how Georgia is finishing its recruiting haul is that it started slow. Over the summer, Georgia, as a team, was ranked in the 60s nationally. Smart heard plenty from the fan base during his speaking circuit when it came to the recruiting start. But Smart issued a directive to them six or so months ago: Relax. “We were never concerned,” Smart said. “I said repeatedly to people where I spoke that we don’t worry about that. We are working on us. We are working internally on our organization and our development of our team. If you take care of your team, if you take care of what is inside your house, then things outside your house will do well. And we played well. You say, ‘How do did we get from that point to this point?’ We played well. I think people saw the success we had and they saw a lot of the games we played and they want to be part of that winning program.”
