UGA Football Recruiting 197 Comments

Author /

Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    Greg Poole The other part of that quote is:  “But if they don’t score we’ll never lose”—-Erk

    I think this is a matter of perception more than reality.
    This has been looked into several times over the last few years. The average recruiting position for GA hashas been around 10th. When you rank overall records and average final ranking over the same period, Georgia is also around 10th.
    I would agree however that the last few years, the program has underachieved but “Top-10 ” recruiting can easily still be 4th/5th in the SEC. That statement really should come with an asterisk.

    bahits Bulldawg36 We have lost a Heisman Trophy candidate every year for the last 3 years. If people want to ignore that they can, but would Alabama have won even the SEC last year without Derrick Henry? How would LSU have fared without Fournette? I would guess most teams would look like underachievers if they lost a Heisman caliber player.

    On the other hand, I also think having great skill players but losing the line of scrimmage is also a factor . Just means our margin of error is much smaller than it should be. The Easons and Hardmans matter, of course, but I think it’s Ben Cleveland, Andrew Thomas, et al, that gets us to the next level.

    bahits Thanks some don’t realize that most kids can’t even get in to UGA these days.

    I like Leonard Warner’s Dad!  Although the article tossing around the question about UGA academics bothers me a little.  I know it is great, and I also know it doesn’t mean a hill of beans outside of your first job or two.  It really doesn’t matter, if you love to learn and keep pushing yourself.   (GT masters degree here)   I suspect that is the angle several schools use… including my alma mater. 

    Either Georgia or Tech would give the kid incredible post school benefits, if he decides to stay in or around Georgia.   Stanford, I don’t know.  It wouldn’t be much of a benefit, if he came back home, but California is neat – minus the high taxes and nanny state politics.

    Any way, I hope he chooses our Dawgs.

    Academics wise, what does he want to study?  Tech is better with a lot of engineering and possibly science.  UGA is great in a whole lot of fields.  The options are broader at UGA.

    Doc R DawgDaddy Greg Poole do you think that thing will ever be worth anything like this other upside down mistake?

  13. bahits

    Bulldawg36 No.  We came within a hair of a national championship when we had Bama on the ropes in the SECc.   We would have worked ND over just as easily as they did

    Now, if you want a candidate for over rated, how about Notre Dame?

  16. Doc R

    Hobnailboot aka RobG basically they had a couple staff members who were doing work for 2 football players, including writing 10 papers for them, and a few other things

  25. DawgDaddy

    Bulldawg36 Not necessarily, it depends on what you say is over rated.  To be picked an fail miserable like gtu or AU last year is what I call over rated.   To be picked but still make it to a bowl – not so much.  

    Of course opinions are like some other things, everyone has one.

  27. RobDawg

    I love the Dawgs but it’s kinda hard to argue with consistent top ten recruiting classes and not much to show besides a couple division titles.

  31. Bulldawg36

    Big lead said UGA was the most overrated cfb team in the last ten years. Sorry can’t post it from the tablet.

  45. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    Well I just made myself feel really stupid trying to understand all that legal mumbo jumbo
