2020 Recruiting

Georgia is recruiting more nationally now... good for them short term. However, long term that’s going to hurt them in my opinion.

While they’re out recruiting Nevada, teams like Auburn and GT are getting in tight with Georgia HS coaches. There is enough talent in GA and surrounding states to be winning Natties...ask Clemson.

Recruiting where they can convince kids that Athens is Atlanta.

How do we "steer clear" of a kid that we have made an offer to? Do we rescind the offer or something?

yes... recruiting is all about context. every offer comes with conditions.

Top 3 states for blue chip recruits

1. Florida (we do well there)
2. Texas (trying like heck to break through)
3. Georgia

And of course they use that punchable face as the picture for the article, when in fact that goober isn't even winning recruiting in his own state.

Texas is larger in size than many nations. But Miami and Atlanta are concentrated hotbeds where all the targets are within 15 min by helicopter. We sit in one of those hotbeds and are well-positioned to reap. Fortunately, the relationships that matter most, with the high school coaches, are just getting off the ground. What Collins just did is like the first step in a 40-yard dash. We're not even close to full speed yet.

As much as I dislike him, it’s hard to mock him when he brought in the #1 class in the country
 
They spend more than anyone else in recruiting by a wide margin...and that’s just what is reported. Obviously it would not be counting all of the under the table cash they clearly are dishing out.

They are shady as shit, but also untouchable.

Yep, that is why Miami is always in the top 15 or better of recruiting; doesn't matter who the coach is. Their problem is they tend to get lazy and just recruit purely off the rankings; you have to go at least 1 more layer than that to make sure the recruits fit into a winning culture and will be good team mates.

It sounds like our coaches understand that: that there is more to recruiting a player than just their talent; they have to want to work hard and fit into your culture. GT also has the issue that we can't take every single recruit: we do have some restrictions that most schools (schools like Miami) don't even have to consider. The great thing is that even with those restrictions there is enough talent in 404, GA, and the border states for GT to prosper.

Seems like it would be a pretty easy thing to catch via sting operation if the NCAA wanted to

It would be.

But more importantly, why do these people that have concrete knowledge of our enemy cheating not do anything about it? Hell, I will pay the postage or phone charges for them to get the evidence to the ncaa, or news media.

If sending that information to the NCAA made a player in the State of Georgia ineligible, the whistle blower would be liable for a year in prison, a $5,000 fine, and can be sued civilly by the impacted school per the Todd Gurley law.
 
In order to really understand why UGAg has such a recruiting advantage over us, you need to understand how the big money TV deals have greatly bolstered everything about the recruiting resources that SEC schools have. This article is behind a paywall, but sheds a ton of light on the vast advantage these schools have over the likes of Tech:

How is that not a violation of the First Amendment?
 
You would have to go to a national news organization to put any pressure on the NCAA. Even then they would ignore it as they have done with the LSU issues.
The NCAA should be targeted under the RICO Act. That is the only way it will ever change. The odds of a change are less than our chances of winning the 2021 NCAA Basketball Championship.

Wrong. It is pretty easy to mock him as he continues the UGA tradition of doing less with more.
 
Not that it’s a big surprise, but just saw the local NBC affiliate’s news story on NSD. UGAg, CU and USCe covered. GT? Nope.
