Given that it is still recruiting season, the question that I get asked the most is how many spots does Georgia have in the Class of 2020. Below is my thought process as of today. Clearly, a lot can change depending on early entry to the NFL Draft. Players with the (NFL) designation are possible early draft entrants if they have an excellent season in 2019. Also, just for fun, I included a WAY WAY WAY too early Mock Class.
