the majors at that ööööhole are a joke, just like that ööööing "university".If the easy “athlete major” at UGA was business, and not whatever cakewalk you currently have, would your recruiting suffer compared to your competition?
For sure. This guy was a real dumbass.The best are always the dumbest, and schools that accommodate dumb players are getting better at it.
They've started to hit Atlanta hard. IMO, big difference pulling a kid out of Brookwood/Parkview vs. CairoMichigan and Ohio State have started to hit Georgia hard.
who cares what a dwag fan thinks?
Answer: No football player going to 'u'ga is gonna qualify to play for us. mutt players are ööööing idiots. the place is a ööööhole factory that'll let 'em take stupid-ass'd majors like "women's studies" or some bullshit like that. The mutt admin only cares about winning football games and not a damn about the athlete.
to hell with all of 'em.
With sentiment like this, it's a wonder we aren't a bigger player in the state.Should illiterates be admitted to the state’s flagship university to play football?
https://www.sbnation.com/college-fo...lege-football-bag-man-interview?src=longreadsThe Bag Man excuses himself to make a call outside, on his "other phone," to arrange delivery of $500 in cash to a visiting recruit. The player is rated No. 1 at his position nationally and on his way into town. We're sitting in a popular restaurant near campus almost a week before National Signing Day, talking about how to arrange cash payments for amateur athletes.
"Nah, there's no way we're landing him, but you still have to do it," he says. "It looks good. It's good for down the road. Same reason my wife reads Yelp. These kids talk to each other. It's a waste of money, but they're doing the same thing to our guys right now in [rival school's town]. Cost of business."
Technically, this conversation never happened, because I won't reveal this man's name or the player's, or even the town I visited. Accordingly, all the other conversations I had with different bag men representing different SEC programs over a two-month span surrounding National Signing Day didn't happen either.
Even when I asked for and received proof -- in this case a phone call I watched him make to a number I independently verified, then a meeting in which I witnessed cash handed to an active SEC football player -- it's just cash changing hands. When things are done correctly, there's no proof more substantial than one man's word over another. That allows for plausible deniability, which is good enough for the coaches, administrators, conference officials, and network executives. And the man I officially didn't speak with was emphatic that no one really understands how often and how well it almost always works.
The stereotypical fan view is that Saban gets whoever Saban wants. So why is he offering the same number of kids as powerhouses Minnesota and Maryland?The below graphic was making its way around recruiting twitter in the past few weeks. Ignore the poster (Dwag premium writer) and look a the content.
We had to make 167 offers in attempts to build our current class. UF, UGA, UM, UT - all had to offer way, way more.
I'm generally curious. Do we need to streamline and put more attention into fewer offers or should we ramp it up and cast a wider net.
Thank you, Exception Guy.For sure. This guy was a real dumbass.
Not true. Not even close. Oh, wait... you can't hear me?I like how yall are avoiding the elephant in the room. NO KID WANTS TO PLAY IN THE FLEXBONE IN 2018
Yeah GTL, there are those on here that are so naive they post silly big cries on claims that there are actually bagmen under the bed.The factories have a system of boosters and shadow boosters that GT simply can't match. It's numbers and money. Kim King used to be the unofficial head of the booster system; his death was a severe loss. Don't know who's coordinating it now, but we just don't and won't have the boosters that a UGA, Clemson, Alabama, etal is going to have.
Pretty sure the below article has made the rounds on ST before now, but it bears repeating:

Wait, could you give us the URL? Because I don’t see that anywhere.From gojackets.com:
· From 1985 to 1999 we had six top twenty-five classes.
1985 # 12
1988 # 22
1991 # 14
1993 # 19
1996 # 9 (based mainly on Quincy Carter)
1999 # 19
Some random rankings. The ranking system does not necessarily match with some of the current systems.

Bottom line is that it’s BS that it can’t be done.
A nice discussion about the quality of our recruiting during that time frame here:Wait, could you give us the URL? Because I don’t see that anywhere.
You really think that's the elephant in the room as far as recruiting is concerned, rather than academics, money, etc? Its more like you are focusing on the cockroach hiding in the crack of the wall and ignoring the room itself.I like how yall are avoiding the elephant in the room.

This metaphor is beginning to fall apart.You really think that's the elephant in the room as far as recruiting is concerned, rather than academics, money, etc? Its more like you are focusing on the cockroach hiding in the crack of the wall and ignoring the room itself.

Yeah, dont do metaphors drunk.This metaphor is beginning to fall apart.
Apples and oranges, IMO.Does the Tech men's basketball program recruit as well or better than UGA's?
If so, what are they (the basketball program) doing that the football program might emulate?
